What Happened to Gold in 2009?

Gold staged a massive recovery in 2009 as the Federal Reserve and global central banks unleashed unprecedented monetary stimulus. Fears of hyperinflation from QE1 drove gold above $1,000 for the first time in US history (in sustained trading). Central banks became net buyers for the first time in 20 years. Gold ended 2009 up 25%.
