攀升之前：黃金價格簡史。
首先，快速瞭解一下黃金在 2000 年代攀升前數十年的走勢。
自 1980 年代初期起的二十年間，黃金投資者的脈搏並不十分跳動。 黃金價格 徘徊在 $300/盎司附近，但沒有實質的收益或虧損。1971年8月，金本位制（黃金與$35/盎司掛鉤）終止，黃金價格首次得以自由移動。在強勁的油價、高通脹和地緣政治的憂慮下，黃金價格一飛沖天，飆升至 $850/盎司（修正通貨膨脹後，以今日美元計算超過 $2000/盎司）。之後泡沫爆破，經過幾年的顛簸後，黃金價格在 $300 左右趨於平穩，幾乎沒有什麼動作。
在黃金價格自由浮動的短暫歷史中，1970 年代黃金價值的急升急跌顯示價格可能相當波動，1980 和 1990 年代的停滯顯示價格並非一直在上升。
