The price of GOLD surged on Monday ABOVE $1,600 per ounce for the first time in history

Gold prices rallied to record highs above $1,600 an ounce in Europe on Monday as investors spooked by the euro zone debt crisis and the threat of a US default bought into the metal as a haven from risk. 

Spot gold rose as high as $1,600.40 an ounce and was up 0.4 percent at $1,598.76 an ounce at 0845 GMT. Gold rose more than 3 percent for a second straight week to Friday, a feat it has not achieved since February 2009.
