Global gold demand rises

Globally, gold demand reached a record high in the third quarter of 2024 as the price of the precious metal reached an all-time high amid ongoing geopolitical tensions. According to the World Gold Council (WGC), total demand between July and September rose by three percent year-on-year to 1,313 tonnes, the highest level in almost 25 years since the WGC began compiling such figures.

The increase was largely due to investors seeking safe havens amid the Russia-Ukraine war and the Israel-Gaza conflict, which have contributed to rising uncertainty in global markets.
