Akhirnya emas cecah USD 1500

Seperti disebut-sebut sebelum ni, akhirnya harga emas cecah juga USD 1500 seounce. walaupun dijangka pada hujung April 2011, tetapi baru 20 April harga sudah melebihi USD 1500. Lepas ni kita tengok pula , bila harga akan cecah USD 1600.

Pada waktu ni sesuai untuk menjual bagi yang memang hendak menjana keuntungan atau bagi yang belum nak pakai wang, teruslah menyimpan. Kalau nak beli boleh, tapi pastikan seboleh mungkin beli atas tangan orang dengan harga yang lebih rendah daripada harga semasa. Itu sranan saya sahaja. Terpulanglah pada pembaca buat keputusan sendiri.

Kenaikan kali ini disebabkan oleh kelemahan US Dollar dan kerisauan berkenaan hutang di Eropah serta kadar inflasi yang lebih cepat naik daripada dijangka. Ini mengakibatkan ramai pelabur dengan segera beralih kepada pelaburan selamat iaitu kepada precious metals.

Perak juga mencatat rekod kenaikan tertinggi sejak 31 tahun yang lalu. Harga semasa perak ialah USD 44.73 seounce !!!! Sangat tinggi berbanding 3 bulan lalu.

Saya cadang jangan tunggu lagi. Kalau ada duit lebih di tangan, cuba-cubalah tukar sebahagiannya kepada emas atau perak, insya Allah ada keberkatan. Baru tadi lepas berbual dengan seorang kawan yang melabur banyak dalam fixed deposit sejak 10 tahun lalu. Sudah tentu keuntungannya tidak sebanyak jika membeli dan menyimpan emas dan perak. Kenaikan emas biasanya sekitar 27% - 31% setahun manakala perak kira-kira 25% dalam masa 4 bulan !!!

Di bawah adalah artikel dari Bloomberg berkenaan prestasi emas semasa. Selamat membaca.

Gold Exceeds $1,500 as Dollar Drops on Concern About U.S., European Debts

Gold rose above $1,500 an ounce to a record in London and New York as a weaker dollar and concern about debt and faster inflation spurred demand for an alternative investment. Silver reached a 31-year high.

The dollar slipped as much as 0.8 percent against six major currencies, trading at a 16-month low, while a U.S. gauge of trader inflation expectations approached the highest level since 2008. Gold, which typically moves inversely to the greenback, has climbed this year as unrest in the Middle East and North Africa and Europe’s debt crisis boosted demand.

“The dollar has lost ground to its major counterparts,” James Moore, an analyst at TheBullionDesk.com in London, said in a report to clients. “The mix of inflation, currency debasement, euro zone debt and Middle East and North African unrest continues to fuel investment demand.”

Immediate-delivery bullion gained as much as $9.33, or 0.6 percent, to $1,505.65 an ounce and was at $1,502.95 by 11:21 a.m. in London. Gold for June delivery was 0.6 percent higher at $1,503.60 an ounce on the Comex in New York after reaching a record $1,506.20.

Bullion rose to $1,505 an ounce in the morning “fixing” in London, used by some mining companies to sell output, from $1,490.50 at yesterday’s afternoon fixing.

The difference between yields on U.S. 10-year notes and Treasury Inflation Protected Securities, a gauge of trader expectations for inflation, today widened to as much as 2.66 percentage points. The spread reached 2.67 percentage points on April 11, the most in three years. Standard & Poor’s lowered its U.S. credit-rating outlook on April 18, citing the widening budget deficit.
