Gold price $ 1,720.25 usd or $2611 aud

Around 90% of RMS profits are created from a foreign exchange gains.
At $1700 ounce RMS would struggle to make a safe profit margin.

The United States stimulus will deflate the USD which will result in the AUD rising and our profits falling.
The Australian dollar could reach $1.10 again but this time we would be in a recession. This would have a devastating effect on our economy and destroy the gold price.

The fall of gold back to 2600 usd is a deflationary signal. Gold could fall back to 1400 usd
with an exchange of $1.10 aud. The gold price would only be 1300 aud an ounce.

2009 to 2010 the gold price was 1200 to 1400 usd ounce.
2009 to 2010 the aud was .90 to $1.05 usd

Technically gold could fall to $1250 aud ounce with an theoretically exchange rate
of .95 given a similar set of circumstances.
