What Happened to Gold in 2000?

Gold ended the 1990s bear market at multi-decade lows, weighed down by central bank selling (particularly the UK's controversial gold sale), a strong US dollar, and robust equity markets during the dot-com boom. The Washington Agreement on Gold (1999) helped set a floor, but gold struggled to regain momentum through most of the year.
