Peaking at more than US$2,400 an ounce in April and currently sitting above the US$2,300 mark, the gold case continues to shine. Will this precious metal continue its rise to glory as we enter the second half of the year? And how does gold stack up against a guaranteed investment certificate?

For these answers as well as insight into what is driving the demand, we went out to Border Gold in Surrey, British Columbia, and talked with managing director Robert Levy about the gold outlook for the rest of 2024.

Levy also touched on China’s recent gold play and how it affects the price of gold.

At the close Wednesday, gold was trading at US$2,358.53 an ounce.
