<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cloudsweeper99, post: 842545, member: 3011&quot;]In the 1970s, gold rose as interest rates rose and economic activity declined.&nbsp; It is a popular belief these days that higher interest rates are bearish for gold.&nbsp; However, if rates start to increase, bond prices will start decreasing and traders [which means almost everyone these days] will sell bonds, not buy them.&nbsp; That money has to go someplace, and gold is an option just as it was in the 70s.&nbsp; Rising interest rates might, surprisingly to some, be good for gold.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
