As the global economy continues to struggle, gold looks like it will be in even greater demand in the New Year. Increasing demand from banks and the Asian markets (particularly China), set against restricted supply due to rising costs and production constraints, suggest that gold prices will continue to rise, possibly reaching 2,000$ /oz (Reuters).
It will be a struggle to keep up with demand if central banks continue to buy more than they are selling, which is welcome news for those relying gold assets as security against loans or as a saleable item.
Selling of precious metal jewellery or using it as collateral has been the preferred method of raising funds, quickly, easily and discreetly for many years. Today businesses providing this service are completely regulated. It isn’t just a matter of picking a price out of the air they need to have their finger on the pulse of market trends and daily price fluctuations.
