Investment is likely to continue making up the lion's share of gold demand this year, the World Gold Council's investment research manager said, after it surged in the first half of 2009 to almost 50 percent of consumption.
Nonetheless jewellery buyers, typically the main drivers of gold demand, may be tempted back to the market later in the year should gold prices fall and fresh signs of economic recovery emerge, Rozanna Wozniak added.
