Steemit Goldbugs - Guess the Gold price on Market closing next Friday, August 17th / Results of the previous round

Welcome to "Guess the Gold Price"!

Please note: also here the winning will from now on be payed in Steem. At least as long as the reward payout ratio stays as it is now.

Gold lost another few Dollars during the week, as the Dollar index went up again. The "strong Dollar" is something we should keep an eye on, because it can cause all kinds of trouble in the US economy and elsewhere.

So the winner of the previous game for Friday the 10th is again:

@geekboy76

who got closest (-1.70) with his guess of $US 1210.00
The actual gold price on Friday evening was: $US 1211.70

Congratulations !!

But now to the new round:

Its all simple and straight forward, and even better: its free!

Here are the rules:

Give this post a fair and decent upvote.

Make a comment by Wednesday 24:00h GMT, in which you state your estimate of the gold price ($US/oz) on market closing Friday.

Make the correct, or nearest to correct, estimate to receive the Steem payout of the post.

Dont worry about other people's entries. If more than one person is correct or equally close, the win is shared.

The result and the new game post I will make on Saturday or Sunday.

So let us begin:
