If the US dollar is under pressure and the price of oil rises, this might be beneficial for the price of gold and other commodities. Gold will also benefit if inflation begins to tick up in the global economy. The price of gold is ending 2010 in the range of $1,375 per troy ounce. Mr. Dickson expects to see the precious metal “drift higher,” hitting $1,500 in 2011.
