Gold price hits new record high
14-Sep-2010The price of gold hit a record high on Tuesday, with analysts giving a number of reasons for its rise.
Both the price of the actual metal and the price for buying it at a future date rose more than 2% to $1,274.75 an ounce.
It was the biggest one-day gain for the commodity in four months.
One of the factors spurring investors is gold's traditional role as a so-called "safe-haven" investment at times of economic uncertainty.
