Gold Hits Record High

By Anton EljwizatGold hit a record high of $1,315 an ounce this week, extending a two-week rally of fresh records on concerns over an economic recovery. Gold has made a significant upward correction, which can be directly correlated with the bullish trend of the EUR/USD cross. As I will demonstrate below, the price of gold may very well be heading for a reversal. This recent activity has raised the stakes for traders. From here on, the forex and commodity markets will see very high volatility indeed.
