China’s economic recovery from its virus *casedemic *may offer some encouragement to gold bulls, as expectations are building that jewelry demand will rebound.

The slow start to Y 2020 saw demand in China, the world’s biggest gold consumer, fall 35% to the lowest annual mark since Y 2009.

Optimism about New Year sales has improved significantly.

China’s Lunar New Year holiday, a traditional frame to buy gold, begins on Thursday, 12 February.
