Highest Ever Gold Price in Euros (EUR) €
The Greek economic & political crisis has hammered the euro, seeing euro gold price rise another 15% to break €962 on May 6th 2010.
The record high gold price in Euros has been broken many times. Notable high points include May 12th 2006 when the p.m. gold fix was €561.378, and January 3rd 2008 at €587.275. It has continued to break records, the most recent being 11th February at €635.908.
On Friday 12th May 2006, gold reached its record highest price ever in euros, the afternoon London Gold Fix was €561.378, although in US dollars it was still only $725.00.
Gold has only been fixed in Euros since 1st January 2000, before that date it is shown in two currencies only, the pound sterling and the US dollar.
Yet Again!
Shortly after we finished updating this page on 20th February 2008, gold shot up yet again in late trading, by about €12 per ounce, and hitting new record highs in all three gold fixing currencies.
And Again!
On 21st February 2008, gold broke all three currency price records yet again, at £482.759; $945.00; and €641.200 per ounce on the afternoon London Fix. Intraday trading was even higher at over $950, breaking another magic psychological barrier. Next stop $1,000?

Error Check
On 11th May 2010, we noticed that the a.m. fixes in euros on 2nd and 3rd December 2009 were shown as being identical at €802.105.
While this could be a coincidence, we believe it is more likely to be an error, and have asked the LBMA to check this. We will publish the outcome here as soon as we hear from them.
Record High in Beijing
The record price in Chinese Yuan was achieved on Tuesday 4th April 2006, according to the Beijing Daily newspaper, hitting 170 yuan per gram (21.25 dollars).
"Gold has never been sold at such a high price in Beijing," said Wang Jian, general manager of the Gongmei Mansion Gold Store, told the paper. "I doubt whether consumers will hesitate to buy gold ornaments now," he said.
Gold dealers in China's capital reacted cautiously in raising prices, fearing a drop in sales despite the fact that prices in southern China had surged to 178 yuan (22.25 dollars) per gram.
China is the world's third-biggest market for gold after India and the United States, according to the World Gold Council, an industry organization. Last year Chinese demand for gold rose 8 percent to more than 250 tons
Record High Gold Price in US Dollars
The previous all-time record high gold price in US dollars was reached on 21st January 1980, fixing at $850.00 on that day's p.m. fix.
This morning (12th May 2006), gold fixed at $725.75, a 25 year record, but still 15% below the highest recorded dollar price. Many now believe that it is only a matter of time before gold hits its all time high in US dollars also, perhaps on its way to $1,000+. Who knows? We certainly would not want to bet against it!

Does the drop after this price peak mean an end to the gold bull market, we believe not, more of a correction.
Highest Historical Silver Bullion Price & Lowest Recent Silver Price
The all-time high price for silver was hit on 18th January 1980 at $49.45 (£21.65) per troy ounce fuelled by Nelson Bunker Hunt's cornering of the market.
Silver then hit a post Bunker Hunt low of $3.54750 or £1.83250 per ounce on 25th February 1991.
In late 2010, silver has broken through a 30 year high of $30 per ounce.
