Harga Emas Melambung Naik Lagi ke USD 1613

Harga emas naik lagi. Kali ni ke tahap USD 1613.8 seounce. Menurut penganalisis kenaikan ini disebabkan kebimbangan pelabur berkenaan masalah hutang US yang semakin serius dan tiada menunjukkan tanda-tanda pemulihan.

Kenaikan tahunan amat tinggi iaitu sebanyak 35.66 % atau USD 424. Ini bermakna harga emas kini adalah USD 424 lebih mahal daripada harga emas satu tahun yang lepas.

Bagi mereka yang ingin menjual emas, inilah masa yang paling sesuai. Tapi kalau masih ada cash di tangan, teruslah menyimpan. Harga tetap akan naik, insya Allah.
