Chinesische Investoren sorgen dafür, dass die physische Goldnachfrage aus dem Reich der Mitte die eindrucksvolle Rekordjagd fortsetzt. Im März hatten die chinesischen Goldimporte auf Monatsbasis erst ein neues Rekordhoch markiert. Im April erwarten Händler und Experten sogar nochmal eine signifikante Steigerung der Goldeinfuhren, nachdem der Kaufrausch landesweit ungebrochen anhält. Während die Derivateseite im Goldmarkt schwächelt, zeigt der physische Markt demonstrative Stärke. So vergrößert sich die Schere zwischen dem Gold-Papiermarkt und dem physischen Markt weiter.
".. "April imports will be stronger than March," Lee Cheong Gold Dealers chief dealer Ronald Leung said in Hong Kong. "The world was buying gold and China was no different."
The drop in gold prices has prompted a gold rush in China, with Chinese shoppers flocking to retailers to buy jewellery and gold bars.
A spokesman for Hong Kong jewellery chain Chow Tai Fook, the world’s largest jewellery retailer by market value, said traffic at its China stores jumped by 50% during the May Day holidays.
The surge in Chinese travellers during the three-day May Day holiday also drove gold sales in Hong Kong to rise by an estimated 50%, with total gold sales from April 29-May 2 reaching 40 tons, local media quoted Hong Kong Gold and Silver Exchange president Haywood Cheung as saying.
The jump in Chinese physical demand also prompted some banks to ship in more supplies from London and Swiss vaults, traders said
With China’s economy still on shaky ground, investors could increasingly be turning to gold as a so-called safe-haven investment.
Gold exports to China from Hong Kong hit a record high of 557.478 tons last year.."
