Gold Jumping on QE3 Speculation

Speculation the Federal Reserve will introduce another round of quantitative easing had the price gold surpassing the $1,890 mark early in the trading day, as investors continue to migrate toward safety in the volatile and weak economy.

Gold broke $1,890 in New York and London, as the failed Obama economic policies continue to weigh on the global economy.

While some continue to talk double-dip recession, we at Everything Gold have maintained we've never left the recession, as the data continue to confirm.

Others who believed in the recovery myth are now talking entering a recession, which has helped offer support to the price of gold, as well as the ongoing sovereign debt debacle in Europe. An earlier-than-expected QE3 adds more fuel to the gold price fire, and could cause an inevitable correction in gold to be somewhat subdued in comparison to what it may have been.
