Gold's value has fallen by around 30 percent since the turn of the year, but it seems as though it has turned a corner and its price will be growing in the coming weeks and months.
Chinese Demand
Nomura analysts wrote in a note that rising inflation in China could see gold become a more popular option for investors once more, adding that gold demand in China "already appears to be persisting at elevated levels versus 2012".
They added: "Rising inflation should hamper significant easing responses, which should see this trend for enhanced Chinese gold demand continue."
