Harga Emas Jatuh Kembali ke USD 1415

Wah ! Harga emas jatuh kembali disebabkan jualan oleh pelabur untuk menjana keuntungan sewaktu harga tinggi tempohari. Juga disebabkan kenaikan prestasi ekonomi di US dan harga minyak mentah yang menurun. Jika ada yang bercadang membeli emas, waktu  ini agak sesuai kerana jika dibandingkan rekod tertinggi minggu lepas USD 1447, harga sekarang agak murah. Tapi mungkin ia akan menjadi lebih rendah, tiada siapa tahu. Terpulang pada kita membuat keputusan.

Apa pun sukar sekarang ni untuk meperolehi harga pada hujung 2010 lalu iaitu di sekitar USD 1367. Kesimpulannya, membeli dan menyimpan emas tidak pernah rugi. Kalau terus menunggu harga lebih rendah, silap2 ia akan menjadi semakin naik dan naik dan sukar berpatah balik pada harga yang kita harapkan. Jangan lupa perak. Kadar kenaikan perak adalah lebih pantas berbanding emas.

Saya suka melihat prestasi emas dengan jadual Kitco di bawah. Apa pun berlaku, kenaikan tahunan (365 hari yang lalu) untuk emas sentiasa positif iaitu sekitar 25% hingga 30%. Ini menunjukkan harga sekarang adalah 27.93% lebih tinggi daripada harga pada 28 Mac 2010 atau kenaikan sebanyak USD 309 seounce !!!! Kan dah untung besar namanya tu. Jadi, marilah kita menyimpan emas. Tapi jangan lupa bayar zakat ye.. Pasti tidak rugi dan mendapat keberkatan.

Consumer spending in the U.S. probably accelerated in February as the labor market improved, economists said before a report today.
