<fonr size="5">World gold demand falls 14% in Q2 - World Gold Council</font>

World demand for gold fell 14% to 729 tonnes in the three months to June compared with the same period a year earlier, the World Gold Council said in its latest quarterly report.

The Council said that while price rises, together with political and economic concerns, encouraged retail investment purchases in some countries, these same factors had an adverse effect on other forms of demand.

Demand for jewellery and industrial purposes fell as gold price rises in many currencies, concern over the fragile world economy and geopolitical worries, combined to sap demand, the Council said.

It said purchases for jewellery fell 16% to 581 tonnes, while industrial demand dropped 6% to 79 tonnes.

The Council said a large part of the decline in jewellery purchases was due to a 37% drop in demand from the world's biggest consumer, India, following a sharp rise in the rupee price of gold.

Investment demand fell 11.7% on the same period a year earlier as the sharp increase in prices encouraged some investors to liquidate their holdings.

The survey found that although gold demand fell in volume terms, the dollar value of purchases was virtually unchanged at $7.3 billion.

That was explained by the near-17% increase in average gold prices when compared with the second quarter of 2001.
