India invests in the gold rush

The price of gold has touched a new all-time high as the precious metal becomes increasingly attractive compared with the weakening US dollar.

India's government recently made a landmark purchase of 200 tonnes from the International Monetary Fund - the single biggest gold purchase by a central bank in the past 30 years.

It has now decided to purchase more gold reserves indicating a move away from the dollar.
