Gold Prices Rose to Record Highs this Week

Gold exceeds $1500 on weaker dollar. ‎

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

According to The Guardian, gold prices have risen sixfold from $250 an ounce in 2001.
