Gold price reaches $1,000 an ounce
9 September 2009 BBC
The price of gold has touched $1,000 an ounce for the first time in six months.
The move could be seen as a sign that investors believe the worst of the global recession is over and are worried about inflation.
Others who are less convinced about the strength of the recovery are moving into gold, which is usually sought as a haven from economic turmoil.
