I am no expert but after the Gold crash China has been buying out Gold producers left right and centre... It really looks like the market was forced down to put many Gold producers out of business or cheap to buy (or drive down production). So many Gold producers drops their output because of the weak Gold price and then the demand follows (according to me very soon)... China's bullion buying almost doubled in this year (2013). And of course then the gold producers follow... This makes sense or not?
