[world Gold Council: gold manufacturers may be more cautious about replenishment]-according to a report released by the World Gold Council on June 16, China's official gold reserves had reached 2092 tons by the end of May, an increase of 16 tons over the previous month and the seventh consecutive month of increase. The World Gold Council said the law of history suggests that upstream physical gold demand may remain tepid in the coming months, which may limit the rise of gold premiums at home and abroad, but is expected to start to pick up in the third quarter. High gold prices and a slowing economic recovery may prompt gold makers to be more cautious about replenishment.
