Dear Agoracom Family,

I want to thank all of you for your patience with us over the past 48 hours and apologize for what was admittedly a botched launch of our new site.

As you can see, we have reverted back to the previous version of the site while we address multiple forum functionality flaws that inexplicably made their way into the launch.

To this end:

1.We have identified 8 fundamental but easily fixable flaws that will be corrected in the coming week, so that you can continue to use the forums exactly as you've been accustomed to.

2.Additionally we will also be implementing a couple of design improvements to "tighten up" the look and feel of the forums.

Sincerely,

George et al

Gold near 11-month high as stimulus set to boost demand

posted on Oct 05, 2012 09:33AM

LONDON: Gold today traded near the highest level in almost 11 months on speculation that central-bank stimulus from the US to Europe and Japan will boost demand for the metal as a store of value.

The precious metal increased by 0.3 per cent to USD 1,796.10 an ounce, the highest level since November 14, before trading at USD 1,791.48 as investors' holdings rose to an all-time high.

The European Central Bank is ready to start buying the bonds of indebted euro nations as soon as the necessary conditions are fulfilled, President Mario Draghi said, after policymakers left the benchmark interest rate at a historic low of 0.75 per cent.

Gold gained 11 per cent in the third quarter, the most since June 2010, as the US Federal Reserve announced a third round of monetary stimulus.

Bullion held in exchange-traded products expanded 11.14 tonnes, or 0.4 per cent, to a record 2,565.472 tonnes.

Some investors buy bullion as a hedge against inflation and a weaker dollar, and the metal generally earns returns only through price gains, increasing its allure as interest rates decline.
