Golden Opportunity
A saleswoman's face is reflected on the glass showcase as she arranges gold jewelry with a long pair of tongs. Gold is highly valued in many Asian societies, as it carries cultural symbolism, social status, and investment value. Globally, the Chinese and Indians are the largest buyers of gold jewelry, as gold is often given as a dowry during traditional Indian and Chinese weddings. Even though the US holds the world's largest reserve of gold bullion, it ranks a distant 3rd place when it comes to consumption of gold jewelry.
