On the fifth day of Christmas my true love sent to me: five gold rings, which turned out to be much more expensive than a year ago. The key investment question is whether they will be worth even more by the time next Christmas comes around.
New York gold futures traded around $2077 an ounce Friday, meaning that the precious metal is up 14% year to date and is set to finish the year near the record close of $2081.90 reached Wednesday. This snaps a two-year losing streak.
