As with anything the main driver of gold's price is supply and demand. If the supply is low or the demand is high then the price will go up.

Now we have to throw in a third factor, speculation. Gold is sold and traded on the option market and there has been a great deal of gold options traded recently, and that has driven the price up also.

If there were to be a large amount of gold either found or released on the world market then the supply would out strip the demand, options would no longer be sought after and prices would plummet.

In 1972 an ounce of gold cost $58.42, that same ounce of gold today, 2013, is $1221.
