11 hours agoWhy gold is having its best year since 1979
Gold has broken yet another record this week, illustrating just how anxious investors are about the health of the U.S. economy. This week, the price of gold hit $4,000 per ounce for the first time ever. That's the latest milestone in its massive ongoing rally, with prices rising more than 50% just this year. The precious metal is usually seen as a "safe haven" investment, especially when more mainstream assets seem risky.
