The gold price
Lower Gold Prices 'represent buying opportunity' - Monday 15th June 2009
An India-based gold wholesaler claimed today (June 15th) that there could be a "fresh wave" of Gold Buying if prices continue to fall, Reuters reports.
Gold Prices hit a three-month high of $989.30 per ounce on June 3rd, but have since dropped back to $930.85, the lowest level seen for almost a month.
Now Ganesh Agarwal of Shiv Sahai & Sons in Chennai has explained that he is expecting investors to view the falling price as an opportunity to buy the yellow metal.
"In south India, marriages start by [the] third week of July, so there could be some increase in demand, particularly if prices drop by about $10 to $12 from current levels," he told the news provider.
"If prices do drop by that much, there could be a fresh wave of buying."
Those comments come after Koji Suzuki, senior analyst at SBI Futures, claimed last week that his firm is still seeing investors buy gold as a hedge against longer-term inflation.
"We find regular investors buying gold as a hedge when the dollar weakens," he said in an interview with Reuters.
