THE surging price of gold on international markets has hit another milestone, breaking through the $US490 an ounce mark for the first time in 18 years. Analysts attribute recent gains in the price to indications from the central bank in Russia that it could soon start increasing its gold reserves. The higher gold price also coincides with the Indian wedding season, when demand for the precious metal is traditionally high. Local gold stocks continue to rise on the back of the higher demand for bullion.
