Albany, NY -- (SBWire) -- 09/04/2014 --Gold is a precious metal and has high ductility as well as malleability, mainly used as jewellery and for investment purposes globally. Gold is currently oversold in a bearish market attributed to its escalating high prices. Gold is considered as the safest bet for investment in devious times of war and high inflation with currency fluctuations. Recent rebellions and war events in the Middle Eastern countries of Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Syria and now Ukraine has led to rise in investments in bullion. This has caused overselling of gold and thus rapid increase in prices worldwide.

Rising prices are expected to be a major factor driving the global gold market as more and more consumers are purchasing gold as a mean of long terms investments. Further, political instability and confidence over bullion, as a secure investment with high returns, aid in generating demand for gold. However, strikes, technical issues and diminishing ore grades might hamper the market growth in the coming years. Global gold supply is a mixture of mined gold, scrap recovery and central-bank supply. More than half of gold supply worldwide comes from mined gold. China is the largest producer of mined gold. It overtook South Africa in terms of gold production volume in 2007.
