Context

Gold. A precious item with its own duality. In one side, it's a popular investment asset. In another side, it's a commodity. Whether you buy it as an asset or as commodity, the price for gold is always influenced by two things, as similar as other commodities in market: supply and demand. It's not easy to combine many aspects in supply and demand into a single dataset without making it into wall of columns. And also aggregating the data might not easy to do, since the data might not available publicly. But it doesn't mean we can't learn the historical pattern of gold market. At least some gold price historical data are available for public. And we can use that to analyze the market pattern, and, maybe, learn something from them.

Since then, gold prices have been rising and after the economic crisis of 2008, the price of gold rose at higher rates than ever before as the market began to see gold as an increasingly good investment. 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.
