Well, annual statistics on supply and demand in the physical gold
market is compiled by GFMS, and they just had this to say

bloomberg.com

``The physical market is extremely strong.'' Walker said.
Premiums paid for 1 kilogram gold bars, which normally range
between $1 to $2 an ounce over the London market, recently
surged to $20 an ounce, he added.

So, apparently investment demand picked up quite a bit.
Lease rates indicate he must be right -g-

Personally, the gold market right now seems to me like someone
in the futures sitting on TNT. Could be the opportunity of
a lifetime, but I dunno. Just a personal opinion. Never seen
that kind of disparity, and I've been in it for some time.
It blew up a bit a few days ago. A $100 dollar move up (a day)
may be coming, again. -g-
