< p > the latest research shows that the gold export volume of the UK in 2013 was almost two times that of the gold ETF outflow.

< /p >

Compared with 160 tons in 2012, the export volume of physical gold in the UK in 2013 amounted to 1739 tons, according to data from the customs and customs administration of P.

Matthew Turner, an analyst at Macquarie Bank, said gold exports were more than five times the amount of imports, equivalent to 60% of the annual global gold production, almost two times that of gold ETF last year.

< /p >

"P", "economist" magazine called Switzerland "the world's leading Gold Repository", and gold investment in the country has risen overall.

Swiss customs data show that since the late 1960s, gold imports in Switzerland exceeded 13000 tons.

This shows that foreign investors have increased rapidly through the gold wealth stored in Switzerland in the past decades.

< /p >

< p > the world gold association's "gold demand trend" released in 2013 this week pointed out that the gold market was polarized in 2013, while Western investors sold and Eastern consumers bought it.

< /p >

Turner, Macquarie Bank, points out that "the flow of gold from the United Kingdom to Switzerland through Switzerland is a major feature of the gold market in 2013".

He confirmed this trend through specific data last summer.

Turner said that the flow of gold ETF coincided with the trend of gold exports in the UK, with only 1 months' time lag.

< /p >

< p > the Swiss smelter melted 400 ounces of gold into smaller retail units, such as 1000 grams.

Turner said, "gold may eventually be shipped to China and India."

< /p >

In 2013, Switzerland received 77% of British gold exports, while Hongkong and the United Arab Emirates imported about 16% of P.

< /p >

< p > looking forward to the future, Turner said, "the outflow of gold ETF will resume in the coming months, and the total outflow may be only half of that in 2013."

< p > the statistics released by Japan's Ministry of Finance on 20 may show that the trade deficit of the country in January was 27900 billion yen, not only far higher than the 16335 billion yen in January last year, and the 25000 Yen Yen predicted by the market, but also hit the biggest deficit record in a single month.

The main reason is the depreciation of the yen and the import expansion of fuel needed for thermal power generation, which has led to an increase in imports much more than the increase in exports.

< /p >

< p > Japan's imports increased by 25% to 80429 billion yen over the same period last year, reaching a new high in a single month. Exports increased by 9.5% to 52529 billion yen over the same period.

From the regional perspective, Japan's imports from China increased by 34.4% over the same period last year, and the adverse balance also increased by 59.2% to a record 10448 billion yen.

Japan's trade balance with the United States is 367 billion 200 million yen surplus, and the EU deficit of 88 billion 600 million yen.

< /p >

< p > this is a href= "http://www.91se91.com/news/index_s.asp" > Japan < /a > for nineteenth consecutive months, and the trade deficit has gone far beyond the market expectations, highlighting its dependence on export economic growth mode is changing.

In the past two years, the Japanese yen has fallen by more than 20% against the US dollar, and the continued depreciation of the Japanese yen has led to a significant increase in import costs. However, the role of boosting exports has been very limited, and its stimulating effect on the economy has been decreasing. The latest GDP growth in the fourth quarter of last year was only 1%, far lower than market expectations and the growth rate in the first three quarters of last year.

If Japan's trade deficit is prolonged, its regular receipts and payments will also deteriorate, which may lead to a decline in confidence in the country's financial market. In addition, as Japan begins to raise its consumption tax in April, it will suppress domestic demand, and its domestic economy will face greater pressure.
