Gold supply The supply of gold depends largely on the mine production of gold. Production, in turn, depends on two factors.

Similarly, the expectation of higher prices in the future prompts speculators to explore for new reserves. As new lodes are discovered, the supply of gold increases. Investments in gold Gold is subject to cyclical volatility in its rate of return, and many investors speculate on its value. However, for historic reasons, many view it as a symbol of price stability. After World War II, the Bretton Woods system tied the price of all major currencies to the price of gold until the 1970s. This legacy means that most countries still maintain large gold reserves. While this can drive gold demand, it also reduces the supply of gold in circulation by locking huge amounts of gold in central bank vaults. Gold demand was noticeably higher following the Financial Crisis, until the coronavirus pandemic hit. Many investors look to gold in periods of market turmoil because they believe that it holds value through recessions better than other assets.
