The first quarter of 2016 is nearly over, and overall it’s been a good one for gold.
At close of day March 24, the yellow metal was just over $1,215 per ounce, up nearly 15 percent year-to-date. That positive performance can be attributed to a slew of factors, including a lower US dollar, turmoil in the wider financial markets and increased investor buying. And while the metal is ending Q1 lower than it was earlier in the year, many market watchers still believe the metal’s good fortune will continue.
