Gold demand in Asia is set to double by 2030 and boost prices to a record as investment and jewelry purchases climb, according to Australia & New Zealand Banking Group Ltd.
Demand from retail and institutional investors will jump to almost 5,000 metric tons a year by 2030 from 2,500 tons, analysts including Warren Hogan and Victor Thianpiriya said in a report. Prices may rise to more than $2,000 an ounce by 2025 and to $2,400 by 2030, they said. The bank says it supplied more than 20 percent of China’s gold imports last year.
