Mining Weekly reported that the recent weakness in gold prices has kicked up consumer jewellery buying in Asia sharply.
As quoted in the market report:
Bargain hunting lifted premiums in Hong Kong to $2/oz to the spot London prices from $1.60 to $1.70 last week as shops in the former British colony saw a rush in purchases of jewellery and gold nuggets. Hong Kong, the centre for bullion trading in East Asia, is also China’s main source for gold imports.
