Gold Chart
This seasonal gold chart is most instructive. The
months of the year are along the bottom of the chart,
while the trading months for futures are at the top
highlighted in yellow.
Notice on this chart that gold puts in a high on average
in mid to early Febuary. While the lows are put in
just past the years mid-point in July.

70% of all gold manufactured each year goes into jewelry, and is one of the major reasons for
the seasonal pattern in gold.
Consumption causes prices to be low in
August when European jewelry fabricators are
on vacation but then to rise immediately
thereafter. The fourth quarter is the peak
season for gift-giving, with gold jewelry
most highly prized.
Harvest and wedding
festivals begin in September in India --- the
world's largest consumer of gold. Then come
year-end holidays in the United States and
finally Chinese New Year. By late December,
gold demand can be exhausted.
In January, when most amature traders are bullish,
the professtionals are selling the
gold they accumulated way back in July.
