The Gold Survey Forecast for 2013 Performance and its Impact on Jewellery*


Speaker: Philip Newman, Research Director, Thomson Reuters Global gold jewellery demand has faced a series of challenges in recent years.

Philip will review some of the latest trends and developments in a number of key jewellery markets, offer an outlook for gold prices and consider what the future may hold for global gold jewellery demand.
