Gold Distances Itself from the Euro and Experiences Renewed Safe-Haven Demand says Pan American Metals of Miami

  • (1888PressRelease) January 13, 2012 - MIAMI, FL - The fact that the price of gold has continued to rise despite a stronger dollar, combined with the observation that gold's rise no longer seems connected with the euro, which is recovering more slowly, may well indicate a return to safe-haven status for precious metals, gold bullion in particular.

    The euro benefited for a while when France retained its triple-A credit rating but renewed concerns are surfacing about the situation in Italy. While Italy's economy is arguably too big to be allowed to fail, it may also be too big to rescue. According to a Reuters report, David Riley, head of sovereign ratings for Fitch, recommended that the ECB step up its buying of euro zone debt to help Italy avoid a monetary collapse that would be 'cataclysmic' for the euro. Since the euro is one of the world's reserve currencies, it must be protected at all costs. Riley's warning served to put further pressure on the euro and encouraged a gain in the dollar as the preferred safe-haven currency.

    "Problems in Europe are clearly not going to be solved overnight, despite assurances from Ms Merkel and Mr Sarkozy about tighter fiscal union," says Bill Hionas of Pan American Metals of Miami. "However, while the future of the euro zone may be a key factor in the global economic situation, it does seem as if gold has broken away from the euro and is seeing its own safe-haven demand once again. Investors appear to be turning back to gold and silver as a hedge against inflation and for wealth protection."
