Gold at 20-yr low in London
LONDON, MAY 19: Gold prices fell to their lowest level for 20 years here today, dipping as low as 272.75 dollars an ounce on a market still depressed at Britain's announcement 12 days ago that it would sell more than half of its gold reserves.Britain's announcement moreover came on top of a decision by the Swiss authorities to break the link between gold and the Swiss franc and to sell some gold to raise funds to compensate Nazi victims.
