Can China and India Drive Gold Demand?

Frank Holmes speaks with Catherine Murray on BNN’s Business Day PM about the potential recovery of gold demand in China, spurred on by the multibillion-dollar oil deal between it and Russia.

More good news for gold consumption comes out of India, whose newly-elected prime minister, Narendra Modi, promises to grow the nation’s economy and GDP per capita.

Oil is also a good investment opportunity, says Frank. Russia’s activity in Ukraine and recent energy acquisitions have made the black resource very attractive.
