Gold achieves something never seen before
Investors and speculators can't get enough of the yellow metal.
No one is exactly sure where gold came from. It's now believed gold, created as stars were formed, was deposited on and in the earth at the earliest moments of the planet's formation.
The yellow metal, which is soft and easy to work, has attracted people from the very earliest times. It was used to make jewelry. It has been used in coinage. It was seen as a store of value for people and governments.
