Explozívny záujem o zlato a striebro v Číne

Dopyt po fyzickom zlate a striebre má v Číne explozívny záujem. Keď v minulom roku predala ICBC 15 ton zlata, len v januári 2011 to bolo 7 ton, čo je takmer polovica, ako a celý 2010. Dôvodom sú jednak obavy z inflácie, ale aj väčší záujem investorov z radov bohatnúcej strednej vrstvy obyvateľstva.

Demand in China for physical gold and gold-related investments is growing at an "explosive" pace and its appetite for the yellow metal is poised to remain robust amid inflation concerns, an Industrial and Commercial Bank of China executive said.

ICBC, the world's largest bank by market value, sold about 7 tonnes of physical gold in January this year, nearly half the 15 tonnes of bullion sold in the whole of 2010, said Zhou Ming, deputy head of the bank's precious metals department on Wednesday.
