Record Gold Prices for Second Day

Gold exceeds $1500 on weaker dollar. ‎

Gold prices peaked for the second consecutive day in a row yesterday, April 20, rising over $1500 an ounce in a broad commodities rally.

According to Spec.com, gold prices have risen "sixfold" from $250 an ounce in 2001.

This decade-long rise of the gold price against the dollar has led to a boom in cash-for-gold businesses. It has also prompted some people to dust off their jewelry boxes to cash in their old gold.
