4. Supporting facts

Currently, gold prospects depend on the US Federal Reserve, which has to decide whether   additional measures to stimulate national economy will be introduced, or conditions will remain unchanged. Negative US statistics increases hopes of the market participants. The fact that unemployment rate has not changed, increases chances for launching QE3 program (quantitative easing policy program of the US FR). Another important factor, that helps maintain price for gold, is European debt crisis and acceleration of inflation in many countries.
