Context

Gold. A precious item with its own duality. In one side, it's a popular investment asset. In another side, it's a commodity. Whether you buy it as an asset or as commodity, the price for gold is always influenced by two things, as similar as other commodities in market: supply and demand. It's not easy to combine many aspects in supply and demand into a single dataset without making it into wall of columns. And also aggregating the data might not easy to do, since the data might not available publicly. But it doesn't mean we can't learn the historical pattern of gold market. At least some gold price historical data are available for public. And we can use that to analyze the market pattern, and, maybe, learn something from them.
