LONDON, 16 March 2012 - US finance and investment site TheStreet.com today carries an exclusive interview with Adrian Ash, head of research at BullionVault - the secure, low-cost gold and silver market for private investors.
"It's signal that you've seen gold falling together with Treasury bonds," says Adrian, commenting on this week's fall in the gold price.
"People normally associate gold with being an inflation hedge, but over the last four and five years people have also been buying it as a deflation hedge, so at the moment it's coming off with T-bonds."
The current, seasonal lack of Indian gold demand is also leaving the gold price exposed, Adrian goes on, explaining how demand from India - the world's heaviest consumer market for the metal - affects the underlying trend but not the day-to-day moves in gold prices.
