Gold in rand hits record high

London - Gold priced in rand hit a record high on Thursday, while the rand currency struggled at one-month lows against the US dollar, as a wave of strikes continued to grip the country's mining industry.

Gold in rand rose by 1.8% to a record R15 185.80 an ounce. So far this year, gold denominated in rand has risen by more than 20%, compared with a 14.5% rise in the dollar price of gold, which on Thursday was trading at $1 789 an ounce, near 11-month highs.
