How does increasing unemployment; weak economy affect gold prices? Even if there is no inflation, one would think that Gold price drops. However, it may be a little different this time. Gold seems to have been held back by a strong dollar. If the dollar weakens against the EURO, would that not push up the price of Gold? Gold stocks look to be a good hedge at this point especially since real estate prices have not dropped. If the economy does not pick up, it would be a pretty reasonable bet that real estate crumbles. Is my logical flawed?
