WGC: Gold Demand to Hit Record With Central-Bank Buying Gold demand reached an all-time high last year and is poised for further growth in 2024, fueled by anticipation of US Federal Reserve interest rate cuts, as reported by the World Gold Council (WGC). In 2023, overall gold consumption surged by approximately 3% to 4,899 tons, marking the highest level recorded since 2010. This increase was driven by robust demand in the less transparent over-the-counter market and continued strong purchasing by central banks. The WGC’s annual report highlights the significant role of gold in the current economic climate, suggesting a bullish outlook for the metal’s future. « Previous Article Next Article » Share This Article Choose Your Platform: Facebook Twitter Google Plus Linkedin Related Posts Fed seen on track for Sept start to US rate cuts READ MORE Oil Prices Spike as US Inflation Concerns Ease and Geopolitical Tensions Rise READ MORE Treasury yields fall as Fed says it will ease back on balance sheet tightening READ MORE Historic Debt Costs Loom: 2025 Debt Interest Costs to Exceed World War II Levels READ MORE Add a Comment Cancel replyYour email address will not be published.
