Focusing on Gold and the US Gold Industry 2017
Gold forms the basis for a monetary standard used by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the Bank for International Settlements (BIS). Modern industrial uses include dentistry and electronics, where gold has traditionally found use because of its good resistance to oxidative corrosion. Native gold contains usually eight to ten percent silver, but often much more - alloys with a silver content over 20% are called electrum. As the amount of silver increases, the color becomes whiter and the specific gravity becomes lower.
Aruvian Research’s report – Focusing on Gold and the US Gold Industry 2017 takes a look at the global gold industry, focusing primarily on the basic characteristics of the metal itself. The first part of the report deals with understanding gold, technologies involved in gold production, exploration, mining, and the uses of gold, as well as the global industry structure, impact of gold on the environment, the various markets of gold – including a futures trading market and an options trading market.
The second part of the report focuses on the Gold Industry in the United States. In-depth profiles are given of market players, state profiles, along with global regional profiles. The report further focuses on the price trends of gold in the US, market performance, import/export scenario, the regulatory framework affecting the US gold market, and of course, a market forecast.
The Focusing on Gold and the US Gold Industry 2017 is a comprehensive and resourceful research guide to not only the Gold Industry Worldwide, but also the US Gold Market.
