Market Watch (9/10) -- A report titled “The Direct Economic Impact of Gold” released Tuesday from the World Gold Council and PricewaterhouseCoopers has quite a few mind-boggling statistics on the precious metal.
Among the key findings included in the
report: gold mining, in terms of supply, contributed over $78.4 billion
to the economies of the top 15 mining countries in 2012. That’s
equivalent to the gross domestic product of Ecuador.
“From mining and refining, to
fabrication and consumer demand, it is clear that gold makes a positive
contribution to economic growth along the entire value chain,” said
Terry Heymann, Director of Gold for Development at the World Gold
Council, in a statement.
Global gold supply reached 4,477 metric tons in 2012, with about two third coming from mining and one third from gold recycling.
Last year, investment demand, which
consists of bar and coin and gold-backed exchange-traded funds,
accounted for 35% of global gold demand and central-bank purchases
accounted for 12% while jewelry accounted for 43%, the report said. Use
in technology/manufacturing accounted for about 10% of gold demand.
Demand for gold GCZ3 , across the top 13 gold-consuming countries, generated an estimated $38.3 billion economic contribution.
Consumer demand for physical gold
products from the 13 largest gold-consuming countries directly generated
about $110 billion in economic value, the report said.
Gold’s importance in the economies of
developing countries is particularly notable. It accounts for 15% of
Papua New Guinea’s GDP, 8% of Ghana’s GDP and 6% of Tanzania’s GDP,
according to the report.
China produced 14.4%, of the world’s mined gold in 2012, followed by Australia (8.7%), the United States (8.1%) and Russia (8%).

U.S. Stocks Fall as Internet Shares Tumble Amid Shutdown
Posted by PT KONTAK PERKASA FUTURES BALIKPAPAN On 5:27 PM No comments
Bloomberg (9/10) -- U.S. stocks
fell, giving the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index its biggest two-day
loss since June, as concern grew that a deadlock among U.S. lawmakers
over the debt limit could lead to a government default.
An index of Internet stocks tumbled the
most in almost two years, sinking 4.1 percent. Facebook Inc. and Yahoo!
Inc. lost at least 3.5 percent. Xerox Corp. slid 2.5 percent after
announcing the U.S. has been probing the accounting practices of its
outsourcing division. Alcoa (AA) Inc. gained 1.8 percent in late trading after reporting third-quarter earnings that surpassed forecasts.
The S&P 500 fell 1.2 percent to
1,655.45 at 4 p.m. in New York, the lowest since Sept. 6. The Dow Jones
Industrial Average lost 159.71 points, or 1.1 percent, to 14,776.53. The
Nasdaq Composite Index tumbled 2 percent to 3,694.83. About 6.9 billion
shares changed hands on U.S. exchanges, nearly 20 percent higher than
the three-month average.
“The market is going to start to push
the government,” Rick Fier, director of equity trading at Conifer
Securities LLC in New York, said in an interview. “The longer it drags
on, the more uncomfortable everyone gets because we will not rally until
something gets done. Get out now and wait for the storm to pass to get
back in.”
The S&P 500 slumped 0.9 percent
yesterday to a four-week low as lawmakers remained deadlocked over
extending the nation’s debt limit to avoid a default. Its two-day slide
of 2.1 percent is the biggest since June 21. The gauge has fallen 4.1
percent since its latest record on Sept. 18.
