For the first time in history, gold broke through AU$2000 an ounce on Friday.
“The sustained growth of the Australian gold price can be explained by a number of factors regarding volatility in the global financial market…One big factor is the US-China trade war, as it gets uglier, we expect to see more demand for people to hold gold…We’re seeing the Australian dollar decline over time because of gradually worsening economic data”
