Somasundaram P.R., managing director in India of the gold-producer-funded World Gold Council, said Tuesday that with the arrival of the wedding and festive season in India, and with gold supplies flat, the immediate market outlook remains strong. 黄金生产商资助的世界黄金协会(World Gold Council)驻印度董事总经理索马桑德朗(Somasundaram P.R.)周二说，随着印度婚礼和节日季的到来，以及黄金供应量较之前持平，近期的市场前景依然强劲。
'Any view of gold should be seen in a global context,' Mr. Somasundaram added. 'Irrespective of the current exceptional situation in Cyprus, central banks, particularly in emerging markets, have been net buyers of gold for several years. In February the South Korean central bank purchased 20 tons of gold to help it diversify its reserve-asset balance sheet. The amount under discussion in Cyprus is 10 tons. There would appear to be a healthy central bank market for volumes of this type.' 索马桑德朗还说，对黄金的任何看法都应该基于全球大背景之上。不考虑塞浦路斯目前的个别情况，各国央行，特别是新兴市场的央行，多年来一直是黄金净买家。今年2月，韩国央行购入20吨黄金，以帮助其实现储备资产的多样化。塞浦路斯正在讨论的黄金购买量是10吨。对这样的购买量，似乎有一个健康的央行市场。
