Mining industry changing to meet new world of challenges - PwC - 0 views

  •  
    In this article it talks about the issues of supply of gold. Over time a lot of mines have been emptied and now there is a problem that the product will become scarce and gold prices will increase drastically. since there is not very much gold circling around different mines, there is less to be found. The problem is also that the economy is increasing, new mines are made and people have to be trained in mining and some specialized gold makers moved to these new gold mining cities. The average of needed gold in the world is estimated to increase 6% by 2016 which is a lot. A lot of the pure gold has been mined and the not so pure gold is not as profitable.

Demand for Coffee is Growing, and it Won't Stay Cheap Forever | Sovereign Investor - 1 views

  •  
    This article relates to the idea of demand because in the article it talks about the growing quantity demanded in the Coffee market. Since the Coffee market is expending so rapidly the price of the coffee is expected to increase rapidly. The larger the cofee market becomes the more the demand curve will shift, eventually the quantity demanded will decrease because the price does not seen worth it anymore for customers
  •  
    Because the demand on coffee is increasing there is a threat that the product will have an increase of price soon because it will become very scarce. since the demand on the product is so high that the consumers have indicated that they want the coffee. Producers have an incentive to produce more coffee. If the producers are not able to keep the high amount of supply up than prices will rise and the supply line will shift to the left indicating that the price will increase and the scarcity has increased as well. Other markets may suffer as well from the increased of scarcity because the demand on complimentary goods will increase as well if the demand on coffee stays high.
