Got my start year and prices confused - 1833 was USD20/ounce, 1970 was USD35/ounce.

London Fix Historical - result

I guess you finally understand why property prices are where they are today glad we finally got to the bottom of it.
Ya think they'll stay there? I don't.

Edit: Don't know why that link isn't giving the data I sought to show and I don't have time to sort it - non the less a 57% inflation in gold between 1833 and 1970 as opposed to the inflation - USD35 to USD980 per ounce - seen in the last 39 yrs tells the story on recent govt policy.
