Gold Has Witnessed
Gold has witnessed to a nonstop historic rally. The price of gold hit a 25-year high touching USD 637.30 an ounce this week. The reason mostly is the huge amount of investment being made into precious metals. According to PTI, standard gold (99.5 purity) shot up by Rs 50 per 10 gram higher at Rs 9,345 from Rs 9295 of yesterday (27/04/2006) while pure gold (99.9 purity) also jumped up by similar margin and closed at Rs 9390 per 10 grams against the previous day close of Rs 9340.

At the same time, the price of gold in the international market rose by USD 3.68 per ounce and shot up at $637.30 as investors took gold as the safe haven during the time of rampant inflation and global disturbances of many a kinds- political and apolitical. Perhaps, now gold has been golden.

Gold is chosen as the best alternative option to invest into by the investors who are worried and quite apprehensive over current market situations. Mostly the fear of raging Inflation, then international conflicts like Iran nuclear row, Venezuela’s challenges to the US, Nigerian violence etc. are some major factors that raise insecurity among the investors.

They fear that their other monetary assets will lose value in this process. It is well expected that the gold price will soar when the world economic state is going through such a hard situation.

There are several explanations being pointed out by commodity experts for this bullion rally. The economic rise of China and India is one of the major factors that drive the global inflation to rise incessantly. Another reason is the growing demand of gold in both India and China, which are the big purchasers of gold jeweler. India is the largest gold jeweler consuming country in the world, followed by China and the Middle East. Gold Jeweler consumption in India and China is set to have an impact on the gold price.

This will, in turn, cause the price of gold jeweler to rise. According to Star Newspaper in Malaysia, "the climb in the global gold price is driven by strong jeweler sales from the burgeoning middle class in China and India.” .There are some political reasons too, to accelerate the commodity price hike including gold. The nuclear conflict with Iran is another biggest cause that drives the Inflation to be rampant.

Few days before, United Nations Security Council set deadline for Iran, the fourth-largest oil producer to suspend the nuclear programmer, which has raised concerns worldwide speculating UN sanctions against Iran or a possible military assault against the country.

The prolonged violence in Nigeria and the recent Zimbabwean government's announcement that it might take control of foreign-owned mines etc are the other political reasons that creates uncertainty in the state of world economy.

Investor Being Influenced
Other experts believe that investors being influenced by the rising price of commodity are doing massive speculative buying, which in turn has driven up the global gold price. They believe that, there are vast walls of money going into all the commodities, and gold and silver are benefiting at present. They justify their explanation by saying that, as the price has risen, it has become easier for investors to buy gold through a slate of new exchange traded and mutual funds that specialize in metals.

The World Gold Council, a trade group for mining companies, estimates that in 2005, the demand for gold as an investment has increased by only 26 per cent and exchange traded funds have increased the buying of metal ( in tonnage) 53 per cent more.

And demand for gold used in jewelry, however, increased 5 percent. And it is expected the gold price will touch $800 by the year-end.

There is a demand of 800 tons of gold per annum in India for creation of gold jeweler. Of these 800 tones, two-thirds is imported.

The demand for gold jeweler is growing gradually as the middle class in India continues to grow. According to The Mumbai Mirror, the Demand for gold jeweler, mainly from retail investors, was up 47 per cent in the second quarter of 2005 against the corresponding period of the previous year.
