Industry Context
The gold market is influenced by a complex interplay of supply and demand dynamics, central bank policies, and macroeconomic factors. In recent years, significant central bank buying, as evidenced by net official sector buying averaging 784 tonnes between 2020-2024 and reaching 1,086 tonnes in 2024, has provided a strong floor for gold prices. While jewelry fabrication and net physical investment remain substantial components of demand, the increasing interest from official sectors highlights a growing strategic importance of gold.
