Gold demand recovers

Right up front, gold demand in the third quarter of 2022 was firmer. It has reached pre-Corona levels again thanks to central banks and consumers. 1,181 tons of gold were demanded, 28 percent more than in the prior-year quarter. In the jewelry sector, the increase accounted for around ten percent. In India in particular, a lot of gold jewelry crossed the counter. Demand for jewelry also picked up again in China, particularly following the easing of the lockdown. By contrast, investment demand was lower (47 percent). ETFs saw outflows, while coins and bars were up 36 percent. Central banks even set a quarterly record with their gold purchases in the third quarter of 2022, adding almost 400 tons to their gold holdings.

As the global economy has weakened, gold demand from the technology sector has declined somewhat. In terms of global gold supply, there was an increase of one percent compared to the same quarter last year. In terms of price, gold lost around three percent as the strong U.S. dollar created headwinds. Private investors were happy to grab the precious metal, while ETFs reduced holdings. If this changes, then the way should be clear for the gold price to move upwards. Overall, gold demand in Q3 2022 was more of a positive surprise, both from central banks and the jewelry sector. Investors who want to bet on gold as a safe haven can take a look at companies like Caledonia Mining or Fury Gold Mines.
