It is reported that the surging prices of the yellow metal globally have triggered demand for gold-related shares on the A-share market.

Leading gold mining shares including Shandong Gold Mining Co Ltd, Zhongjin Gold Corp, Zijin Mining Group Co Ltd, and new entrant Shandong Tyan Home Co Ltd rose sharply after gold prices breached the $1,000 per ounce mark in early September.

While gold prices at the New York Commodity Exchange have surged around 35 percent since November 2008, the Shenwan Gold Index, the gauge of a basket of gold producing companies on the A-share market, has jumped by as much as 150 percent, and surpassed 200 percent at its peak, according to statistics from Wind Info.

As inflation fears and a weaker dollar continue to propel gold demand and peg the prices at the over $1,000 per ounce mark on international markets, more and more analysts have started taking an optimistic stance on the earnings of yellow metal producers.

“Chinese gold miners such as Shandong Gold Mining and Zhongjin Gold Corp will benefit from this round of price surges,” China Minzu Securities said in a recent report.

Ma Qianqi, analyst, Central China Securities, said apart from the price surge on the international markets, the Chinese market is also expected to witness larger demand as traditional holidays such as the National Day Holiday is round the corner and would be followed by the Spring Festival.

The week-long national holiday, which is traditionally a peak time for young couples to hold wedding ceremonies, is expected to push domestic demand for gold jewelry to a new high.
“The demand from gold jewelry makers will continue to propel gold prices,” Ma said.

In fact, most of the jewelry dealers have already increased gold prices. Beijing-based Caishikou Department Store, the largest gold jewelry retailer in the capital, increased gold prices by 6-7 yuan for each gram on September 15.

International gold prices have broken the $1,000 an ounce mark three times in the past with the last such instance on March 17, 2008, when it touched $1,030.80 per ounce.

Gold was quoted at $1,005.85 an ounce yesterday, within sight of a record high set on March 17 of last year.

Many analysts see international gold price rising further. Gold price could rise above $1,110 an ounce in 2010 as central banks diversify their reserves into gold due to a faltering dollar, economist Martin Murenbeeld at Dundee Wealth Economics told the Denver Gold Forum on Tuesday, Reuters reported.

“I believe the gold price will rise to $1,200 per ounce within the next six months,” Qin Weihuan, a researcher at China Gold Association, told China Daily.

“In the past, gold prices dropped back after it hit over $1,000 per ounce. But I believe this time the price has really breached the $1,000 ceiling and will stay at these levels for some time.”Qin said gold prices have entered a new “era” as inflation fears and uncertainty over the world economy will prompt investors to look for safe havens in bullion.

On the liquidity side, Qin said he believes that international buyers have already made most of the rally by buying the yellow metal.

The world’s largest gold-backed exchange-traded fund, the SPDR Gold Trust, said its holdings stood at 1,078.851 tons as of September 15. But there are pessimistic opinions too.

Fan Haibo, analyst with China Cinda Securities, said he doubts whether gold prices would stay at over $1,000 per ounce.

Gold futures may tread higher nearing the keenly watched 16,000-rupees mark this week, supported by a weak dollar overseas, with investors eyeing the outcome from the Fed monetary policy and G20 meet for direction.

The most-traded October contract was 0.46 percent higher at 15,848 rupees per 10 grams at 6:04 p.m., when a weak dollar overseas supported the yellow metal, recovering from its one-week low of 15,665 rupees, struck on Monday in late-trade.

The euro hit a one-year high against a sliding dollar as dealers took advantage of the U.S. currency’s rise the previous day to resume selling ahead of a Federal Reserve monetary policy meeting and Group of 20 summit later in the week.

A weak dollar enhances gold’s appeal as an alternative asset to the greenback.

Prices are still below the all-time high of 16,040 rupees, struck on Feb. 20, earlier in the year.

“Gold may test 15,950-15,975 rupees later in the week,” said Gnanasekar Thiagarajan, director, Commtrendz Research.

“Gold may be in the range of 15,100-15,950 for the week,” said Pradeep Unni, senior research analyst with Richcomm Global Services.

However, subdued demand from India, the world’s largest consumer, may keep the upside limited, they added.

India’s gold demand abated on Tuesday after picking up for two continuous sessions, as prices recovered from their one-week low.

The World Gold Council’s January to June figures show India’s gold imports fell 55 percent to 126.7 tonnes from 282.3 tonnes a year earlier.

U.S. gold futures rose toward $1,020 an ounce on Tuesday, gaining 1 percent as a sharp deterioration of the dollar’s value triggered investment buying in gold as a currency hedge.
