Today’s February Gold contract closed above $1200.00 notching another all-time high. (Comex $1200.50 & Globex $1204.00) The Gold continued its momentum due to the continued weakness of the U.S Dollar and international diversification away from the greenback. The recent purchases of IMF Gold by India, Sri Lanka. and Mauritius at these lofty levels has certainly showed a lack of confidence in the Dollar. India is the worlds largest consumer of gold however, the World Gold council indicated that China is on track to surpass India as the world’s largest consumer.

They are currently the fifth largest holder of Gold reserves.
