Data out of Hong Kong shows China viewed a gold pullback this year as another buying opportunity, says TD Securities. The data show that 72 metric tons of the metal that came into Hong Kong was re-exported directly to China without altering or processing. "This is just below the December record high of 89 tons, bringing the total tonnage to 272 tons in just the four months from November 2012 to February 2013, and corresponds to a slide in prices from $1,740/oz to $1,560/oz," says Mike Dragosits, commodity strategist. "The pattern certainly displays an even greater demand for gold by China during price pullbacks, aside from the general uptrend in demand following the 2011 major rally in gold prices.
