Gold Prices 'supported by robust fundamentals'
Suggestions that current Gold Prices are nothing but a short-term spike have been dismissed by a prominent industry analyst.

He said: "The Gold Price has been building steadily for nine consecutive years, ending 2009 25 percent higher than on 31 December 2008 at $1087.50 per ounce.
"The current trading range should not be regarded as an overnight spike, but the result of a measured rise, supported by favourable and robust gold fundamentals."
