Gold Rises On Disappointing News From Europe And Discount Buying Says Pan American Metals Of Miami

October 04, 2011

Renewed fears about a possible Greek default may be supportive for gold.

MIAMI, FL - News broke over the weekend that Greece will not be able to meet a deficit target, despite austerity measures, leaving European officials racing to avert a Greek bankruptcy that would jeopardize the future of the euro.

Forecasts for this week already suggested that the price of gold was likely to rise but the worse-than-anticipated news from Europe will definitely affect the market. With markets closed for the weekend, gold was climbing this morning, October 3, settling around the mid- $1600s. On the one hand, disappointing news from Europe and fears of a recession should serve to push the price of gold upwards; on the other hand, a sinking euro will result in a stronger dollar, which may limit the gains gold can make. Equities are also falling, which is again supportive of gold; US stocks have suffered the worst quarter since 2008 and the global economy appears to be struggling, to say the least.

"On balance I would expect the current economic environment to be positive for gold as a safe haven, although gold bullion will be competing with the dollar for safe-haven status," says Bill Hionas of Pan American Metals of Miami. "However, we are also seeing a good deal of buying from bargain hunters, which is serving to push the price back up."

Pan American Metals of Miami was showing gold noticeably higher this morning at $1651. PAMOM is located in Miami, where it is ideally situated for investors from both North and South America.
