Dr. Kaplan explains that basic rules of supply and demand are driving gold higher as investor demand for currency diversification and capital appreciation combined with increased demand from central banks such as China and India create a "perfect storm" for gold. "I would argue that any time the consumers of the two largest countries in the world are competing for a scarce asset, the rest of us should consider owning it."

Fueled by a number of key factors, including ongoing euro concerns, gold spot and gold futures prices moved higher on the first trading day in June.
