Where Gold is in Demand

August 14, 2013 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

Consumers in China are craving more of the yellow metal.

BEIJING—China’s increasing appetite for bling is giving some spark to the moribund gold market.

Gold prices are up 4% in the past week, hitting a three-week high of $1,334.70 an ounce on Monday. A big factor behind the rise is a surge in demand for physical gold in China, some investors and analysts say.

Demand in China, where consumers account for roughly a quarter of global gold demand, hit a record 385.5 metric tons in the second quarter, according data released Monday by the state-backed China Gold Association. That is double the figure from a year earlier, according to a Wall Street Journal analysis of the data.
