Gold Supply and Demand – Q2 2009
Investment demand for gold remained very strong in the second quarter of 2009, rising 46% on year earlier levels as investors continued a flight to quality. Overall demand for gold fell back from recent high levels as weak economic conditions and high gold prices combined to impact demand, according to the Q2’09 Gold Demand Trends report published today by World Gold Council (WGC). Although gold demand remains very high on a historical basis, total demand in Q2’09 was down 9% on the levels of a year earlier, a 6% decline in $US value terms to $US21.3b.
The figures, compiled independently for WGC by GFMS Limited, show that total identifiable investment demand for gold, which includes exchange traded funds (ETFs) and bars and coins, remained very strong. Investment demand rose to 222 tonnes, a 46% increase on year-earlier levels, but below the extreme highs experienced during the previous three quarters when the economic and financial crisis was at its peak.
Retail investment, which includes demand for physical gold in the form of bars and coins, had another healthy quarter. Net retail investment was up 23% relative to the previous quarter and 12% on the levels of Q2’08 as investors, specifically those in western countries, continued to seek out gold for its unique wealth preservation qualities. Flows into gold ETFs returned to a more moderate, but historically robust level of 57 tonnes after an exceptional first quarter that saw net inflows total 465 tonnes.
