Gold is pretty much out of fashion these days.

Gold prices continued to plunge Wednesday morning, falling below $1100 to the lowest in more than 5 years.

Traders are convinced the Federal Reserve will finally raise interest rates by year’s end, diminishing gold’s appeal as a hedge against inflation.

There is less safe haven value in gold as the economy continues to improve. A strong dollar is also denting most commodities.

Gold was down $9 at $1092 an ounce on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
