ZLATO - zlatá horúčka v Austrálii

Obavy z finančnej krízy zvyšujú záujem investorov o žltý kov.

PERTH Mint, Australia's biggest wholesaler of gold coins and bars, has rationed its sales with the global financial crisis sparking a new gold rush.


Worried investors are seeking a safe home for their money and ploughing billions of dollars into the precious metal in a bid to preserve their wealth.


Demand has now reached such unprecedented levels that the Perth Mint has been forced to ration its sales.


Perth Mint's bullion sales rose 194 per cent in the December quarter compared with the corresponding period in 2007, while silver bullion sales were up 140 per cent.
