In short, we’re still in the early stages of a major bull market for gold. Investors still hate the boom today… But that hate won’t last forever. And we’ll see the biggest gains once sentiment reverses.
China is the world’s biggest producer and consumer of the precious metal.
China’s gold jewelry demand rose 10% while India’s fell 6%. Chinese bar and coin investments, meanwhile, surged 28%.
Although China mines more gold than any other country, it still needs to import a lot and the quantities are getting larger. In the last two years, overseas purchases totaled over 2,800 tonnes — more than all of the metal that backs exchange-traded funds around the world, or about a third of the stockpiles held by the US Federal Reserve.

The influx of money into Gold ETFs in China has totalled US$1.3 billion so far this year, compared with US$4 billion in outflows from funds overseas.
