The yellow metal fell down by more than $385 an ounce, or almost 23 per cent since hitting a 2013 high of $1,692/oz on January 22. This means that investors that bought into the precious metal in January this year have lost almost a quarter of their capital, with analysts expecting further agony. A myriad of factors, including a very real possibility of the US Federal Reserve curtailing the quantitative easing program in the near future, an overbearing tax on gold consumption in India, and a strong dollar are all being cited as the reasons behind gold’s recent plunge.
