Zlatá horúčka v Austrálii

Ľudia v Austrálii z obáv o stratu hodnoty úspor v veľkom vymieňajú papierové peniaze za reálne. Hlavný predajca švajčiarskych zlatých a strieborných odliatkov musí denne pracovať takmer 24 hod., aby pokryl veľký dopyt.

The gold hysteria has hit Australia hard as investors dump paper money and turn to precious metals as a source of diversification of their wealth, according toGeorge Vo, Precious Metals Sales Manager of Gold De Royale, Australia’s premier retailer for Swiss precious metals. With gold prices hitting an all time high at US$1,266.50 an ounce, investors bought Swiss precious metals as a hedge against financial turbulence caused by Europe’s debt crisis.

“Precious metals sales at Gold De Royale have soared to a record level and we are almost working 24 hours to keep up with demand. People from all walks of life, from a farmer to a corporate CEO, want to buy gold and silver bullion to protect their wealth. The most popular gold bullion products that consumers want are the Argor Heraeus Gold Kinebar followed by the prestigious PAMP Suisse gold bullion. The PAMP Suisse silver bars were the most sought out silver product by consumers and demand for this product had exceeded supply,” said Mr. Vo.

Many credible market analysts, such as Goldman Sachs, have forecasted gold to hit US$1400 in 2010, and some have predicted gold to hit US$1300 in the coming weeks as investors sell US Dollars. People are looking for safe investments that do not lose value, and at this moment, gold bullion is their first investment priority as precious metals have outperformed equities and bonds.
