Nonetheless, Mr. Bernanke understands that inflation pressures remain very low (even though he has failed to apply or promote the proper solution to our current balance sheet recession). But I believe gold prices are moving higher due to the public's opposition to fiat currency, fiscal stimulus and what is generally viewed as continued "money printing". It has caused the increasing rally cry for reduced government spending and continued shrieking from deficit hawks who haven't differentiated between the currency system in the EMU and in most other developed nations.
