Total gold demand, including OTC investments, saw a 1% year-on-year rise in Q4, reaching a new quarterly high and contributing to a record annual total of 4,974 tonnes. Annual investment surged to a four-year high of 1,180 tonnes, reflecting a 25% growth. Gold ETFs played a crucial role, as 2024 marked the first year since 2020, where holdings remained largely stable, in contrast to the significant outflows of the previous three years. However, gold jewellery consumption declined by 11% year-on-year to 1,877 tonnes as buyers opted for smaller quantities. Despite this, overall spending on gold jewellery increased by 9%, reaching USD 144 billion.
Investing in gold stocks provides a strategic opportunity to gain exposure to the precious metals market while capitalising on the growth potential of mining companies. While gold is traditionally viewed as a safe-haven asset during economic volatility, gold stocks offer the added advantage of benefiting from operational efficiencies and expansion opportunities within the industry.
