Many people believe the price of gold is being artificially suppressed or is artificially lagging since it is not behaving the way it typically does. If it can no longer be kept low, it will probably move quickly to a true market price.
Is that true? JP Morgan and Deutche Bank have been caught manipulating the price, but it would probably need to be the Fed to keep it suppressed for as long as it has been. They certainly have the motive, but no one has proven that they are doing it.
