COMMENTARY: Gold has sprung to a two week high and many analyst feel these gains are sustainable. The safe-haven demand continues in Europe and through out much of the Western world. The demand in Asia, particularly India and China, continues to be stronger than forecasted. World stock and precious metal markets are up in early trading, as there are signs of robust economic growth in China, recovery in parts of Europe and a relatively successful Portuguese debt sale. The Euro is has also moved up, which has driven the US Dollar down.
