Gold is the most popular precious metal in the investment industry. The rate of return for gold investments fluctuated significantly during the period from 2002 to 2024 but generated positive returns in most years of the observed period. The return of gold as an investment reached almost 27 percent in 2024, one of the highest recorded. Why is gold valuable? Gold is a precious metal with a number of practical uses, particularly in technology. For example, NASA uses gold to improve its lasers and protect sensitive things in space, including a part of the visor for its astronauts. However, a large share of the demand for gold worldwide is as an investment, particularly by central banks. Gold serves the purpose of an alternative to currency because it is relatively scarce but still has enough mine production to serve the financial sector. Gold as an investment Under the Bretton Woods agreement after World War II, the world’s major currencies were tied to the value of gold. This system, called the Gold Standard, ended in 1971. Still, most countries maintain significant gold reserves. Due to this history and the overall faith in the value of gold, the average gold price tends to increase in times of recession, making it an attractive investment in uncertain times.

Between January 1971 and March 2024, gold had average annual returns of 7.98 percent, which was only slightly behind the return of commodities, with an annual average of eight percent. The annual average return of gold in 2023 was 13.1 percent. What is the total global demand for gold? The global demand for gold remains robust owing to its historical importance, financial stability, and cultural appeal. During economic uncertainty, investors look for a safe haven, while emerging markets fuel jewelry demand. A distinct contrast transpired during COVID-19, when the global demand for gold experienced a sharp decline in 2020 owing to a reduction in consumer spending. However, the subsequent years saw an increase in demand for the precious metal. How much gold is produced worldwide? The production of gold depends mainly on geological formations, market demand, and the cost of production. These factors have a significant impact on the discovery, extraction, and economic viability of gold mining operations worldwide. In 2024, the worldwide production of gold was expected to reach 124 million ounces, and it is anticipated that the rate of growth will increase as exploration technologies improve, gold prices rise, and mining practices improve.

India imported more than 3.7 trillion Indian rupees worth of gold in fiscal year 2024. This represented a significant increase in comparison to the previous year. The gold exports from India were valued at 265 million U.S. dollars for the same year. India's place in the global gold industry In 2023, India ranked as the fifth-largest gold importing country worldwide based on value, having amounted to nearly 47 billion U.S. dollars, and accounting for over nine percent of global gold imports. In terms of output, India produced about 780 kilograms of gold in financial year 2023, while the global mine production of gold amounted to 3,100 metric tons in 2022. Accordingly, India's relatively low domestic gold output means that the country needs to import significant quantities to meet demand. The mining industry in India India’s mining industry is essential for the country’s economy, contributing around 2.5 percent to its gross domestic product (GDP) and providing some 700,000 jobs. As of 2023, the number of reporting mines in India was estimated at 1,426, less than half the amount in 2015. Despite its meaningful contribution to the nation’s economy, mining in India is also controversial due to its environmental impact and human rights violations.

The demand for gold across India was about 747.5 metric tons in 2023. This represented a decrease of three percent in comparison to the previous year, when the gold demand was 774 metric tons. Gold supply Gold demand in India is principally met through imports. India is one of the leading countries for gold imports. In financial year 2022, the value of India’s gold imports was estimated at over 3.4 trillion Indian rupees. The import of gold was a major cause for the country’s trade deficit. To curb imports, the Modi government changed India’s gold import policy. This was done by introducing a higher import duty and allowing import only via nominated agencies which were notified by the Reserve Bank of India and the Directorate General of Foreign Trade. The country produces a minimal amount of its gold needs through local mining. The volume of gold mined in India has remained below two metric tons since financial year 2013, while a small amount is also generated by the recycling the precious metal. Reasons to purchase gold Gold purchases are considered an important source of investment. Weddings and festivals across the country lead to major gold sales. Around 20 percent of annual sales come from Deepavali, the Hindu festival of lights. The precious metal is considered auspicious and is worn on important occasions and ceremonies in India, mainly in the form of jewelry. Since 2010, more than 500 metric tons of gold jewelry are consumed in the country every year.

Rhodium is extensively used in the automotive industry to manufacture catalytic converters that reduce harmful emissions. Over the last few years, even with a steady supply, Rhodium demand has risen significantly, exceeding supply due to stricter emission regulations and advancements in the automobile industry. The significance of PGMs in South Africa South Africa is rich in various natural resources, such as metals and minerals. For example, almost all of the total global reserves of PGMs are in South Africa. In 2023, PGMs generated the highest revenue share in the South African mining sector compared to other commodities, amounting to 370 billion rands.

Major players Starbucks has shaped the modern coffee culture, capitalizing on the Seattle coffee shop scene.
