A one kilo gold bar is displayed in a shop in Dubai's gold souk, April 11, 2006. Gold raced above the fabled $600-an-ounce level on Tuesday, its highest since December 1980, as investors and funds poured money into precious metals to diversify their portfolios brought on by worries about inflation, Middle East tensions and uncertainties over the dollar's outlook.
