Gold Scrap Supply to Drop Up to 25% as Lower Prices Deter Sales

``Gold supply from recycled materials may fall by as much as 25 percent this year as lower prices deter holders from selling the metal at a time when physical demand is strengthening, according to the World Gold Council. Scrap bullion supply may fall by 300 to 400 metric tons in 2013 from about 1,600 tons last year, according to Marcus Grubb, managing director of investment research at the gold council in London. ''
