“Gold took a beating today because of margin calls” expected on the Comex, Frank McGhee, the head dealer at Integrated Brokerage Services LLC in Chicago, said in a telephone interview. “The Chinese number was the final nail on the head with people exiting from all commodities, including gold.”

“We could see a severe correction in gold, even spilling over into silver and the platinum metals group,” Peter Sorrentino, who helps manage about $14.7 billion of assets at Huntington Asset Advisors in Cincinnati, said in an e-mail. “I reduced our holding some weeks back, and regret now not selling more.”
Prices may drop to $1,310 by June, Sterling Smith, a Chicago-based commodity futures specialist at Citigroup Global Markets Inc., said today in a telephone interview.

A Guide to Buying Gold in Dubai
The Gulf’s
most vibrant city – its modern heart and soul – is Dubai. This emirate is situated
south of the Persian Gulf and owes its remarkable economy to the oil reserves
that were found there during 1960’s which then led to a surge of investors and
businessmen. Dubai, United Arab Emirates
has always been the center of gold trading since the 19th century.
Buying gold in Dubai became more widespread after the establishment of the well
renowned Gold Souq market. Today, this is considered as one of the major gold
markets around the world.
The spotgold price in Dubai is presented in the national currency of the UAE Dirham
(AED) twice each day according to the International rates of gold and currency
exchange rates of the Dubai Gold & Commodities exchange (DGCX). The rate of
gold in Dubai is also classified by the gold’s purity, namely 22 or 24 karat
composition in troy ounces. There are several sources around the Internet that
show the gold rates in Dubai per gram daily. The main and perhaps biggest
attraction of the Dubai gold market over other markets is the low prices it
offers. Compared to the other markets, such as the European gold market, the
price is a lot lower by up to 60%.Demand of gold trading in Dubai is increasing rapidly.
Getting Started With Gold Trading
Exchanging gold with other commodities is an age old
practice. Aside from being admired for its beauty and symbol of power, gold is
also used by investors as a way to protect themselves against inflation. Unlike
for currencies and other financial investments, the prices of gold remain
unaffected by external economic conditions.
And with the high demand for this commodity as a stable financial instrument,
more and more investors are considering gold as part of their portfolios.
If you are looking to diversify your portfolio into
gold investments through a Dubai broker, then there are a number of things you should consider first.
Just like any other investments, gold trading has its pros and cons so take
note of these before making a decision.
