• Do not be too concerned with the recent sell down by the bullion banksters. The correction is over, gold and silver will very likely go to new highs soon! The bullion banksters are rapidly covering their naked shorts as they know there is overwhelming physical demand and very little physical stock.

  … Demand for the metals is literally exploding in Asia, and it’s creating shortages of physical bullion around the world. The statistics are extraordinary. China, the world’s largest gold producer, now requires so much of the precious metal (in addition to what it already mines) that it imported over 209 metric tons (6.7 million oz) of gold during the first ten months of 2010. This represents a fivefold increase from the estimated 45 metric tons it imported in all of 2009.1

  We believe Asian demand for physical gold and silver is akin to a tsunami. While precious metals prices have corrected on the paper exchanges, the inflation resurgence in Asia is quietly driving new, unforeseen levels of physical demand for the metals. While the world continues to float on a sea of paper, this massive wave of physical demand silently threatens to crash into the physical gold and silver market, potentially wiping out tangible supply.
  
  Gold rush as shortage of precious metal hits UAE
  The dip in gold price has spurred January sales of the precious metal, even leading to shortages of small gold bars, UAE retailers say. The gold spot price slipped from US$1412.63 (Dh5,188.59) per troy ounce at the end of December to a low of $1314.82 on January 28.
  
  This whetted appetites of gold-buyers, and sales jewellery and bars in the UAE by as much as 25 per cent compared to the previous year, said Tushar Patni, the owner of Ajanta Jewellers in Abu Dhabi and a member of the emirate’s Gold and Jewellery Group (CK). “We saw about 20 to 25 per cent increase in sales, compared to the same time last year. Just because of the prices,” he said.
  
  Mr Patni said the surge in demand had depleted his reserve stocks of small gold bars, and Abu Dhabi retailers had difficulties replenishing their stock. “The worst week was last week,” he said. “Practically, there was not anything available with any of the suppliers.”
  
  Sales of gold, a popular item for tourists and Asian expatriates who purchase the precious metal for investment, have been hampered over the past year as the price reached record highs above $1,400 per troy ounce. In comparison, the average gold price in 2009 was just $972.35 on the London PM fix, data from the World Gold Council showed. Spot gold was trading at $1,347 this afternoon.
  
  Majid Karim, the managing director of Swiss Gold, a Dubai-based wholesale seller of gold bars, said that demand for bars surged by 18 to 20 per cent compared with December due to the lower cost. This led to short-term shortages last month of gold bars for roughly five days, he said.
  
  Sunny Chittilapully, the vice chairman of the Dubai Gold and jewellery group and chairman of Chittilappilly Jewellers, said that gold jewellery sales rose by 30 to 35 per cent compared with December, due to cheaper prices and the Dubai Shopping Festival. “There is a lot of tourists, and customers are more interested in buying gold because the price is very attractive,” he said.
