Gold costing skyrockets to a six-week peak.
Here's the rewritten article:
Yo, it's crazy! On October 25 last year, that London gold fix put the price of a troy ounce at a whopping $1,805.25.
Now, the London Bullion Market Association's gold fixing sets the marker for stakeholders worldwide, and that fix price is almost always plugged into contracts for precious metal deliveries.
Fast forward to October 26, and gold on the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) was selling for $1,808.60. The global average market price? A cool $1,803.90.
So, what about our buddies in Kazakhstan? Well, let me tell ya – as of October 26, that same gram of gold set you back about 24,715 tenge, an ounce went for 768,710 tenge, and a kilo? Hold onto your hats...that's a mind-boggling 24,714,585 tenge!
Gold contracts closed at their highest level in over six weeks, thanks to folks being extra worried about those inflation numbers. According to Prime, real interest rates were still as low as they were at the start of the pandemic, which means gold prices are skyrocketing as inflation fears outpace interest rate hikes.
Tyler Richey, co-Editor of Sevens Report Research, pointed out, "Since the start of the pandemic, real interest rates have been trapped at low levels. Gold prices are soaring because expectations for inflation are outpacing interest rate hikes."
Last week saw gold prices climb by a solid 1.6%.
