Gold price hits record high in Beijing

Gold price hits record high in Beijing
UPDATED: 19:29, April 05, 2006

The price of gold hit a record high in Beijing on Wednesday as price rose from 162 yuan (20.25 U.S. dollars) per gram to 170 yuan (21.25 dollars).

The rise came after the domestic raw material gold price reached 151 yuan per gram on Tuesday, Beijing Daily reported.

"Gold has never been sold at such a high price in Beijing," said Wang Jian, general manager of the Gongmei Mansion Gold Store, told the paper.

"I doubt whether consumers will hesitate to buy gold ornaments now," he said.

Gold dealers in China's capital reacted cautiously in raising prices, fearing a drop in sales despite the fact that prices in southern China had surged to 178 yuan (22.25 dollars) per gram.

China is the world's third-biggest market for gold after India and the United States, according to the World Gold Council, an industry organization.

Last year Chinese demand for gold rose 8 percent to more than 250 tons.
