Worldwide fabrication demand for gold is predicted to rise this year by 1.9 per cent and jewellery demand by two per cent according to CPM Group's 'Gold Survey' forecasts.<br/><br/>This will bring the fabrication demand total to 81 million ounces and that of jewellery to 71.4 million ounces.<br/><br/>However, rising demand is not the case worldwide. CPM's 'Gold Survey' shows that the USA's consumption of gold for jewellery fabrication has dropped.<br/><br/>Yet, as fabrication demand in the USA has fallen so consumer demand for gold jewellery has risen.<br/><br/>This reflects the growing fabrication markets in China, India and the Middle East, from which many gold jewellery items are exported abroad.<br/><br/><br/><img alt="track" src='http://feeds.directnews.org.uk/feedtrack/dn.gif?feedid=196&itemid=15022453'/>© Adfero Ltd
