What Happened to Gold in 2007?
The US subprime mortgage crisis erupted in 2007, driving gold to its highest levels since 1980. The Federal Reserve cut rates aggressively, the dollar fell sharply, and financial institutions began reporting massive write-offs. Gold crossed $700 in April and then $800 in November as Bear Stearns's hedge funds collapsed.
