Asia is witnessing one of the strongest waves of physical gold buying in 30 years, with bargain-hunters using the drop in prices to secure jewelry and gold bars.

Feverish buying has left many of Hong Kong's banks, jewelers and even its gold exchange without enough yellow metal to meet demand. In Shanghai, the gold exchange saw volumes---often seen as a proxy for demand---at a record yesterday. Queues formed outside some jewelry shops in Beijing.

The buying surge in China, Hong Kong, India and other Asian countries contrasts with heavy selling last week, when investors dumped billions of dollars of gold-related assets. The strong Asian buying has provided support for global gold prices. Yesterday the cost of the metal rose to $1,438.66 a troy ounce, up from 8.1 per cent from the low set last week.

Gold traders in Asia said premiums---price paid for a particular product over and above the value of the gold it contains---which are seen as a barometer of physical demand, had more than doubled in recent days.

Chow Tai Fook---the Hong Kong-based company that is the world's biggest jeweler by market capitalization---said some stores in areas popular with mainland Chinese tourists had sold out of gold bars. It said demand had not been this strong for gold products since the late 1980s.

China is the world's second-largest gold buyer after India. At Beijing's largest gold store Caibai a long queue formed to buy investment-grade bullion on Friday morning.

Trading volume on the Shanghai gold exchange jumped to a record high yesterday, reaching 43 metric tons. The previous record, set on April 19, was 30.4 metric tons.
