And with the yellow metal increasing by 25% in value over the past 12 months, it's easy to see why producers that have low margins at $1300 an ounce last March are now higher margin minds on those mines that were high margins at $1300 an ounce and now making a vast amount of money.

And investors want exposures to these high returns.

If we look at a chart for gold over the past 12 months, we can clearly see that since April last year, gold has been in an uptrend, rising 30% from 1266 U.

Dollars per ounce in mid April to its current level of over $1600 an ounce.

And it's this rapid rice that has the market all excited.

However, if we take a step back in time, we can see that the uptrend for gold appears to have started much earlier.

Looking at this job, we can see that the gold price has been in our trade since at least August 2080 when it was priced at $1170 announced.

During this period, the gold price has risen by around 40%.

Further still, let's go back 50 years Now we're able to see what some investors are getting very excited about the gold price.

Looking at the 50 year price data we can see to clear bull markets for gold.

The first round from 1972 1980 and the gold price rose 1700% from 35 U.

Dollars per ounce to $630 per ounce the second round from 2000 to 2012.

And during this period, the gold price rose 570% from 265 U.

In fact, looking at the larger data set, it appears that gold has been in an uptrend since very late in 2015 and it's currently up around 54% since that time are we midway through a 10 year bull market for gold as experienced between 1970 in 1980 or 2002 in 2012?

Or are we seeing a more short lived rise in the yellow metal, similar to what was experienced between 1985 and 1988 when gold rose 59% before falling?

It's a question we're all seeking the answer to.
