Re: Gold Spot
The fluctuating VALUE of the USD is a major factor when considering the fluctuating value of a Troy Ounce of Gold (or soy beans, diamonds, or even other metals). Add to that the "SPOT" value (a futures value and not actually the right-now-value) and suddenly the fluctuations seem to make a little sense. All of that understanding is often lost knowledge to those buying or selling Gold.
Compound that with Supply and Demand (or international S&D) as well as sell-offs to gain profits and it's hard to actually know the value, or buying power, of a certain quantity of Gold.
In a static world the buying power of a Troy Ounce of pure Gold would remain fixed and so a Troy Ounce of pure Gold would buy the same quantity of "Stuff" all the time. It's the outside influences on the buying power of a USD that cause fluctuations in "The Spot" at any given time.
The converse is also true - a whole bucket full of "Cheap Dollars" would buy much less weight of Gold as compared to that same bucket, only now filled this time with high value dollars.

Re: Gold Spot
And then there are nuggets and specimens, which should never be sold at "spot."

Re: Gold Spot
Geowizards Analysis;
Today, it's down. Here's why:
Gold prices going up reflect the weakness of the US Dollar. As soon as we see an increase in GOLD prices, it is followed by a sharp downward spike as we see today. A "BIG" player is selling HIGH and driving GOLD prices lower! The Fed and the Treasury have a hand in this. They monitor GOLD. As the USD takes a hit, GOLD goes up. It takes MORE USD to buy the same troy Oz of GOLD! That's inflation.
The weakness in the USD against GOLD has to be controlled and can ONLY be controlled by one player in the market. GOLD goes up -> the Treasury dumps GOLD on the market -> driving the price down. This regulates GOLD and the USD within acceptable bounds. The treasury has 8000 +/- metric tonnes of GOLD. The price of GOLD going up should be good news for the treasury! The problem is - it shows a weak, "worth-less" USD.
Most adults in the room understand the problem with overspending and borrowing money to pay the interest on the loan. It's called borrowing your way out of debt.
