SINGAPORE:
Gold premiums in Singapore and Hong Kong rose on growing appetite for
physical gold from Asia's investors, after prices fell off a record
above $1,900 hit last week.
An upcoming festival and wedding season in India and a week-long holiday in early October in China are expected to help boost gold appetite.
"Prices came down from the peak last week -- this is the main cause behind the buying," said a Singapore-based trader, adding that most buying came from households seeking to use gold to hedge against inflation and economic uncertainties rather than jewellers.
