Gold Prices Fall in London on Slowing Investor, Jewelry Demand
Bloomberg

May 29 (Bloomberg) — Gold prices fell for the first trading session in three in London on speculation that a surge in prices is slowing demand from investors and jewelers.

Two years of increased investor demand spurred by accelerating inflation helped send gold prices to a 26-year high on May 12. Consumption by jewelers, the biggest buyers of gold, will plunge 15 percent this year, the first drop in three years, Barclays Capital forecast in a May 26 report.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska – In downtown ivory shops, alongside whale-baleen baskets and walrus-tusk statuettes, tourists finger curios made from the fossils of shaggy Ice Age beasts that died on the tundra thousands of years ago.

Woolly mammoth fossils, abundant on riverbanks and beaches in the interior, are shaped into jewelry or etched with scrimshaw, then sold to collectors and retail shops.

Alaska’s borders contain the largest caches of mammoth remains in the United States, and a consistently cold climate has kept much of them in carvable condition.
