Demand and Supply

Alistair Hewitt, Head of Market Intelligence and Krishan Gopaul discuss the findings of the World Gold Council’s Q3 2015 Gold Demand Trends report.

For many decades, the US dollar has been the main reserve currency worldwide and it still accounts for more than 50% of international reserves. However, its share has been gradually declining, while that of other currencies, like the Chinese RMB, has grown, signalling the potential emergence of a multicurrency reserve system.

This video explains how we create Gold Demand Trends, the leading industry resource for gold demand data. We explain how our unique position in the gold industry gives us unparalleled market insight and how we work to understand evolving consumer behaviours, identify emerging trends, and apply our knowledge and experience to provide a complete view of the gold market.

We appointed Dr James Abdey, a lecturer in Statistics at the London School of Economics and Political Science, to support our analysis and develop a quantitatively robust approach to combining Metals Focus data with our historical data.
