China Buys 47% of the World's Gold
China is panicking.
Rampant inflation is driving Chinese consumers to buy gold on a massive scale...
In fact China is already set to buy almost half of all the gold that'll be mined this year.
You read that right: The Chinese may buy nearly 50% of total world gold production in 2011.
This incredible demand will no doubt put significant strain on global supplies.
Today I want to talk about how this soaring demand may be the catalyst that pushes gold prices over the $1,500 level in as little as a few weeks.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------China Produced $35 Billion in Gold in 2010
According to China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, gross output from domestic production increased 67% to 230 billion yuan ($35 billion) in 2010.
Of this, China's gold industry realized 5 billion yuan ($3.8 billion) in profit — 78% more than in the previous year.
China's gold mines produced 9.9 million ounces of gold in 2010 — an increase of 7% over 2009. Meanwhile, total domestic gold output grew 9% to 12.0 million ounces.
