History has shown, gold is seen as a good investment in times of uncertainty because it can or is thought to function as a good store of value against a declining currency as well as providing protection against inflation. However, unlike other commodities, once gold is mined it does not get used up like other commodities (for example, such as gasoline). So while gold may be a good investment at times, the supply demand argument does not apply to gold. Nonetheless, the demand for gold has been mostly consistent.

Gold pricing determinants Gold is a metal that is considered malleable, ductile, and is known for its bright lustrous yellow color. This transition metal is highly valued as a precious metal for its use in coins, jewelry, and in investments. Gold was also once used as a standard for monetary policies between different countries. The price of gold is determined by daily fixings where participants agree to buy or sell at a set price or to maintain the price through supply and demand control.

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.

Worldwide gold demand amounted to ******* metric tons in 2024, an increase from ******* metric tons in the previous year. Furthermore, 2020 was the first time demand for gold was lower than ***** metric tons throughout the period considered, and the driving force behind that drop was the coronavirus pandemic. Gold supply The supply of gold depends largely on the mine production of gold. Production, in turn, depends on two factors. The countries with higher reserves of gold work harder to extract their gold when the price of gold increases, following the standard theory that the quantity supplied increases with price. 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.
