Enter the emerging market goldfingers | beyondbrics | FT.com

Recent all-time highs have left investors wondering if the price of gold can keep on climbing. While concerns about the falling dollar and euro are big factors driving the price upwards, something more profound is also afoot.

Demand for gold is expanding in emerging markets such as India and China, and if that becomes permanent some are asking if this could shift prices into a higher trading range for good.
