Gold and oil are not manufactured items and Asia can do nothing to produce them in large quantities. Then why is the price artificially low?
And, re:oil, I would maintatin that gas is still at very high levels compared to the amount of oil produced right now.

One reason....India is one of the biggest buyer of retail gold in the world. India just passed a law imposing higher tariffs on imported gold. Indian purchases have dived as a result.

As for oil, the demand worldwide, especially Asia is increasing at a high rate. You have not seen a really bad traffic jam unless you visit Beijing, Mumbai or Singapore.
