China’s largest networking and information exchange platform for gold & precious metals industry

8th Annual China Gold & Precious Metals Summit 2013, co-hosted by Shanghai Gold & Jewelry Trade Association and IGVision International Corporation Shanghai and jointly endorsed by China Gold Association and Shanghai Gold Exchange, will be held in Shanghai China on December 5-7, 2013. It is China’s largest networking and information exchange platform for gold & precious metals industry. The summit has been successfully held for seven consecutive years. And this year with the joint endorsement of the China Gold Association and the Shanghai Gold Exchange, the premier event will be convening 250+ top professionals from across the value chain including mining companies, refiners & fabricators, bullion dealers, mints, commodity & mercantile exchanges, investment & bullion banks, brokerage firms, traders, capital management firms, advisors, jewelers, trade associations as well as policymakers.

Now in its 8th year, the conference will highlight the price actions and supply & demand fundamentals for gold, silver and platinum group metals, multiple headwinds weighing on gold as a combination of a muscular U.S. dollar, higher U.S. bond yields and continuing decline in ETF holdings, the shifting investor sentiment in response to the stock rally, a strengthening U.S. economy and the prospect of the Fed tapering, a slowdown in Indian demand on the heels of restrictions on gold imports, China’s newly-launched after-hours trading for gold and silver futures contracts, miners’ response to the negative trend in metal prices, and low inflation readings in major economies of the world.
