ANZ have forecast a "significant long term strengthening of gold price"

  • As Asian demand grows, liberation of Asia's financial system, and growing wealth of Asian populations
  • ANZ estimate the price could exceed $2,400 USD ... (by 2030! That's the 'bad news' bit)
  • Long term growth in China and India
  • Could see double annual gold demand in Asia 10 countries (from 2,500 tonnes p.a. to 5000 tonnes) within 15 years
  • Continued accumulation oh physical gold by Asian central banks

ANZ Chief Economist Warren Hogan:

"Asia's rise will have profound implications for the gold market. A growing middle class will buy more jewellery, a larger body of professional money managers will drive investment demand and regional central banks will purchase more gold to provide confidence in newly floated currencies. These factors will support a long term and significant increase in the gold price."
