Gold hit a new peak after a drop in the US dollar to a 15-month trough, resulting in the precious metal recording an eight-day winning streak. According to Bespoke, the current run represents the seventh time since 1980 that gold has had a streak of eight or more consecutive days with a gain. The report said: "As shown below, the only time one of these streaks went for more than eight days was back in 1982 when the ninth day was also positive (on the tenth day it fell 5.7%, or $63 in today's prices). Looking out over the next week, there has been little consistency in the results as periods of negative and positive returns have been evenly split."
