Gold Has Weathered the Storm and the Future is Bright with Krishan Gopaul

In this episode, we speak to Krishan Gopaul, Senior Research Analyst at the World Gold Council. He discusses what happened with Gold Demand Trends in 2021 and in more current times, the Gold Market outlook for 2022, and what the Gold market expects. KEY TAKEAWAYS In 2021, the jewellery, technology, and motoring sectors recovered, so demand for gold was strong from them. The Indian jewellery market was especially interesting. Demand from banks was high. Krishan explains why and which ones bought the most. Inflation is leading to consumers investing in gold coins. Krishan shares the figures and the story behind that. But high ETF outflows dragged down the overall investment level. For ETFs, there are currently very strong competing forces at play, which makes it hard to predict what will happen. In January, inflows into ETFs were strong. Krishan explains why, during the podcast. For mining, the picture was mixed. Krishan talks through which jurisdictions were up and which were down and explains why. Most supply issues have been resolved. So far, higher demand for cryptocurrencies has not really impacted demand levels for gold. The dynamics for gold, during 2022, are likely to be similar to 2021.    BEST MOMENTS ‘For gold ETFs, we saw outflows of about 173 tonnes, which was the first outflows for a couple of years. ´ ‘We saw about 463 tonnes of gold demand from central banks, last year, that 82% higher.’ ‘Gold will face very similar dynamics in 2022 as it did in 2021.’   EPISODE RESOURCES Website: https://goldhub.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/KrishanGopaul   VALUABLE RESOURCES Email: [email protected] Website: https://www.mining-international.org/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rob-tyson/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/MiningRobTyson Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DigDeepTheMiningPodcast/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theminingpodcast/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/DigDeepTheMiningPodcast/videos   ABOUT THE HOST Rob Tyson is an established recruiter in the mining and quarrying sector and decided to produce the “Dig Deep” The Mining Podcast to provide valuable and informative content around the mining industry.
