                NEW YORK (CBS.MW) -- Gold futures fell by late Thursday in a
                technical pullback from a four-day high, pressured by Ashanti's
                confirmation of an agreement that will likely lead to additional production.

                April gold closed down $1.20 to $303.80 on the
                Commodities Exchange division of the New York
                Mercantile Exchange, after hitting an intraday high
                of $312.50, while March silver fell 4 cents to
                $5.265 an ounce.

Demand for gold 'hits record'


By Paul Solman - 18 Feb 2000 04:37GMT, Financial Times

Global demand for gold climbed to a record last year in spite of disruption caused by volatile prices in the fourth quarter, according to the World Gold Council. Overall demand was up 21 per cent to almost 3,300 tonnes
compared with the previous year, while jewellery demand rose 23 per cent to 2,799 tonnes, the WGC said in its latest quarterly Gold Demand Trends report, released yesterday. The council is funded by gold mining groups
and encourages demand for gold.

Investment demand also strengthened for 1999 as a whole, though it fell 24 per cent in the fourth quarter as consumers in many parts of the world held back from buying because of sharp movements in prices, caused by the international central bank agreement restricting bullion sales.

India, the world's largest consumer of gold, reached a record for the fifth year in a row, with consumption rising 3 per cent over 1998 to 838 tonnes, though official imports fell sharply in the fourth quarter.

In the US, the second largest market, gold consumption rose 7 per cent year-on-year to almost 460 tonnes, with jewellery up 6 per cent.
