LONDON (AP) — The price of gold cracked the
$400-an ounce level for the first time in history in
Hong Kong today and neared the $400 mark in Eu-
rope.
But the battered dollar gained moderately on
foreign currency exchanges.
Gold, which has soared an astounding $74 a troy
ounce since Sept. 1, touched a peak of $400.20 dring
morning trading in Hong Kong before settling back
to close at $396.25.After the Hong Kong market’s
close, gold moved up to a record $399 an ounce in
London following the morning “fixing” price of
$397 set by the city’s big five bullion dealers. The
price was up from $394 the night before and topped
the previous London high of $395.50 at the Thursday
afternoon fixing.
In Zurich, bullion sold for $398 at noon after

touching a record $398.50 in late morning. Thur-
sday’s closing price, the previous Zurich high, was
$395.50.
In Paris, where the bullion price is inflated by a
government tax, gold topped $400 for the first time,
reraching $401.28 at the morning fixing. In Frank-
furt, dealers fixed the price at $398.53.
After taking a beating on world money markets
Thursday, the dollar was firmer this morning, with
dealers reporting heavy support from the West
German central bank. End-ofmonth settling of ac-
counts, a technical factor in foreign exchange
dealing, was also cited.
In Tokyo, the dollar gained slightly to close at
223.45 Japanese yen, up from Thursday’s 222.75. A
dealer said, "It’s not that the dollar is strong. The
yen is even weaker than the dollar.”
