August is traditionally a slow month for gold sales at jewelers. But Reuters
reports many shops in Shanghai have seen huge sales over the past few weeks
… "The surge in prices has sparked another gold-buying craze. The 50-gram

manager at Shanghai's major jeweler Lao Feng Xiang. Liu said sales this

at Jinrui Futures. "Gold's rally over the past two years and the debt
worries in the West have only strengthened Chinese investors' belief that
they need to own the metal as an investment asset." |
