After another very strong night in the northern hemisphere last night gold, at US$1872 is just $30 off its all time high of US$1900 whilst silver smashed through $23 to a 7 year high but still less than half its US$48 high in 2011 and the GSR sits at 81. In Aussie terms gold is back above $2600 and now $120 off the $2745 all-time high in March this year and silver at $32.40 is more than $10 off its 2011 high. We discuss what is driving this surge now.
