Gold Rally to 17-year high
"Sept. 19 (Bloomberg) -- Gold rose in New York for a fourth straight session, extending a rally to a 17-year high, as a surge in energy costs renewed concern the pace of inflation is accelerating. Bullion prices have jumped 12 percent in the past three months as oil, gasoline and natural-gas soared to records. Some investors buy gold as a hedge against rising consumer prices. Hurricane Katrina, the costliest U.S. natural disaster, drove consumer confidence to the lowest since 1992 and led analysts to cut estimates of economic growth.
``A lot of people see some risk in the current financial system, and they're diversifying into gold to protect their assets,'' said Bart Kitner, president of Montreal-based Kitco Inc., a gold-coin dealer. ``We're getting a lot of new customers.''
Gold futures for December delivery rose $8.60, or 1.9 percent, to $471.90 an ounce at 12:16 p.m. on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange after reaching $472.40, the highest since June 1988. Prices first breached a 17-year high on Sept. 15."
