During the recent phase of market optimism that has driven global equities more than 50 per cent higher since March, gold prices have remained relatively stable.
Bullion prices during this period have not sold off on dramatically elevated levels of risk appetite, nor have they risen strongly through bouts of risk aversion.

Has inflation yet to have an impact?
