    Gold Price Reaches a New Record

    14 September 2024 has gone down in history as an important day in the gold market. On this day, the price of gold reached an all-time high of USD 2,580 per ounce. This event is undoubtedly pleasing for both gold investors and sellers, who can now look forward to greater financial gains.

    Why has the Gold Price Risen?

    There are several reasons for the rise in gold prices. Firstly, global economic turmoil and geopolitical strife often increase the demand for precious metals such as gold, which are considered a safe haven for investors. Secondly, global financial market volatility and fears of inflation can also contribute to the rise in gold prices.

    The price of gold is rising. What to expect in the near future?

    2023-01-11, Scrap Gold prices

    The price of gold is rising. What to expect in the near future?

    By 2023, the price of gold has increased by about 15% compared to the beginning of November last year. November 3, 2022 the price of gold on the exchange was about 1600 USD/Oz, and already in 2023 on January 3, the price of gold reached 1838 USD/Oz. Although the price of gold has not yet reached 2022. at the level of March when gold cost as much as $2034/Oz, but it is likely to reach a similar price soon if it rises at this pace.
    As the economy of the world's major countries slows down and inflation continues to grow, it is a bit strange to see that in 2022 the price of gold decreased more than it increased, and only started to increase at the beginning of November. One can form the opinion that the price of gold is somehow artificially prevented from increasing.

    2022-09-20, Scrap Gold prices

    How to Find Scrap Gold Prices online
    It’s almost impossible to know how much gold is hidden in your own backyard. The amount of gold on earth is almost certainly much greater than the amount that people are aware of. Much of this treasure is locked away in the ground where it’s stable and safe from prying eyes or machinery. But a lot of it is also floating around in the environment, either dissolved in water or suspended in air. In other words, much of it is already worth a lot more than it was just a few years ago. That’s because many people are now aware that there’s quite a bit of hidden gold out there. And for good reason: Finding old junk gold at bargain prices can be profitable business opportunities.

    The high price of gold has been falling recently

    2022-09-20, Scrap Gold prices


    When we wrote this text it was the day of March 22, 2022. After a sharp rise in the price of gold in early March this year, it has fallen by 6-8% recently. On March 8, the price of gold on the London Metal Exchange reached $ 2,037 per troy ounce, but on March 16 the price dropped to $ 1,905 per troy ounce. It is possible that the high price of gold was driven by a sharp increase in demand for it. Information could be found on the internet that it was difficult to find gold bars to buy in gold bars because people were buying investment gold en masse. As the price of gold rose on the metal exchanges, the price of scrap gold rose accordingly.
