Chinese demand for gold has recovered a few weeks ahead of Lunar New Year celebration, but the peak season pickup remains far below previous years’ levels, which made it the world’s biggest consumer of the precious metal in 2013.

The price of gold in the Beijing, which slipped to an uncharacteristic discount to international rates in November, has strengthened back into positive territory over the last couple of months. China’s premium has doubled to $4 per troy ounce from December.

In September last year, China’s largest physical bullion bourse introduced its international board, aimed at encouraging foreign participation in China's tightly controlled gold market.

The future of gold is physical

“The growth of the Shanghai Gold Exchange into the world’s largest physical gold exchange provides compelling evidence that the future of gold is physical,” WGC CEO Aram Shishmanian said.

“As the market shifts from West to East, the expansion of strong gold trading hubs in Asia will improve price discovery, liquidity, transparency and efficiency, all of which will transform the landscape of the global gold market” he added. “As a major market, accounting for 30% of global capacity, this will enable China to take its rightful place in the world gold market.”
