DEMAND SHOULD RESUME IN CHINA – AFTER A PAUSE FOR "DRAGON BOAT" FESTIVAL THIS WEEK

Chinese markets are closed early this week (Monday through Wednesday) for the Dragon Boat Festival, so their gold markets will not be active, but there is a new series of gold exchange-traded funds emerging in China. Specifically, Huaan Asset Management and Guotai Asset Management received approval from the China Securities Regulatory Commission to launch gold ETFs denominated in the Chinese yuan. Like the similar U.S.-based ETFs, they will be traded as common stocks on the Shanghai Stock Exchange.

We all remember how gold demand took off in 2004 after the introduction of gold ETFs in America. That kind of surge could happen soon in China. Zhang Bingnan, secretary-general of the China Gold Association says that gold ETFs "should help boost gold demand as they will make Chinese investments in bullion much easier." Referring to fickle New York traders, he added that, "The dumping recently of holdings in gold exchange-traded products by overseas investors may not prove to be a wise move."
