What Happened to Gold in 2010?

The Eurozone sovereign debt crisis (Greece, Ireland, Portugal) drove gold to then-record highs above $1,400 in late 2010. The Fed launched QE2 in November, further weakening the dollar. China surpassed India as the world's largest gold consumer. ETF holdings hit record levels and central bank buying accelerated.
