Gold notches third-straight record day
8 April 2011 MarketWatch
Gold futures crawled higher Thursday, shaking off the weakness that permeated part of floor trading to make history a third straight day.
Gold cinched a settlement and an intraday nominal record highs, its third consecutive, and helped silver, the poor man’s gold, reach another 31-year high close.
Momentum buying, heightened concerns about debt problems in Europe, fears of inflation, and even an aftershock in earthquake- and tsunami-ravaged Japan contributed to gold’s top showing.
