So over the last week, we've actually seen gold jump over $1,300 an ounce for the first time since the middle of 2018. there's a lot of things that are sending the price of gold up, but the biggest one that most people are paying the most amount of attention to right now if you're watching the news, is the fact that we have several countries all around the world that are dumping US dollars in exchange for gold.
