Billion dollar company's may be wrong in judging the market but it won't be from a lack of information and brainpower.

The supply of gold comes from (in order of importance):

1. production
2. scrap
3. central banks
3. forward sales
4. disinvestment

Hedging is a supply factor, therefore affects POG.
