Analysts hedge their bets on a gold-plated economy

``The Paulson Gold Fund, which was set up in January 2010, managed about $900m at the end of last year... Mr Paulson told the French business newspaper Les Echos that he sees more gains ahead for the metal. He and other speculators have moved out of some dollar-denominated assets because of weakness in the greenback and have bought gold and other precious metals instead. He told the paper that the Federal Reserve's economic stimulus plan had created a risk of inflation and because of that risk, the price of bullion could rise further.''
