Gold Demand Trends 
Q2 2024

Gold demand firm, record prices prevail. 

Gold reached record highs in the second quarter, driven by a combination of strong OTC investment, continued central bank buying and an upturn in Western ETF inflows later in the quarter. Conversely, the high price environment took its toll on jewellery consumption.

Key Highlights: 

Central bank net buying reached a record H1 total of 483t. Demand slowed in the Q2 from the previous quarter but held above longer-term levels. Gold’s role as a hedge and portfolio diversifier remain key considerations for central banks.
 
Global gold ETFs saw minor outflows in Q2 (-7t). Combined May and June inflows of 26t largely offset April’s 33t outflow. Holdings in Asian-listed funds continued to grow and Western-listed funds saw a revival in inflows during the quarter.
 
Global bar and coin investment dropped 5% y/y to 261t. Continued strong demand across Asia was offset by a sharp decline in net demand in Western markets, where profit-taking and liquidation has surged in recent quarters.
 
Record prices hit gold jewellery volumes. Global demand for gold jewellery was 19% lower y/y at 391t. China recorded the largest decline as the high price environment combined with a weaker domestic economic picture.
 
Total Q2 gold supply rose 4% y/y; mine production increased 2% to a H1 record. Recycling also increased y/y in response to higher

Jewellery sparkles on Akshay Tritiya, despite price hike

Jewellery sparkles on Akshay Tritiya, despite price hike The jewellers kept their fingers crossed with the thought that the sharp rise in gold prices in the past couple of weeks might keep the buyers at bay but surprisingly rising gold prices did not deter buyers from buying on strong investment demand, but gradually prices are weakening as fundamentals are turning bearish. FED has indicated that it will keep interest rates higher for a longer period of time, as inflation has turned sticky and is still above the 2% target.

The market is expecting only two rate cuts this year in September and December, which is a tailwind for gold prices. It seems Gold prices have topped out in the short-term and could retrace back to Rs 70000 unless there is some new geopolitical tension emerging.”

This year’s Akshay Tritiya started on a positive note says Saurabh Gadgil, Chairman and Managing Director, PNG Jewellers. “There has been a steady increase in footfalls since morning. High gold prices have not been a deterrent similar to what we experienced during Gudi Padwa. Sales numbers are looking strong for the first half but today being a working day we expect the footfalls and corresponding sales to increase further in the later part of the day. People are also coming in to pick up their pre-ordered purchases.” He add, “Demand for heavy jewellery, bullion and coins remains strong. Diamond jewellery is surprisingly doing very well too! Overall this year’s Akshay Tritiya sales will be in line with industry expectations.”

The World Gold Council’s Gold Demand Trends report reveals that annual gold demand (excluding OTC) fell to 4,448t in 2023, down just 5% from a notably strong 2022. When factoring in demand from the OTC markets and other sources, total demand climbed to a new annual record at 4,899t. Investment from this more opaque source of demand supported 2023’s highest annual average gold price on record.  

The central bank buying streak continued on from 2022 at a blistering rate. Demand reached 1,037t last year, making it the second highest on record, down just 45t on the previous year. In contrast to robust OTC and central bank demand, ETF outflows continued in 2023, losing 244t in a third consecutive year of decline, with outflows in Europe dominating the picture.   

Diamond sales were sluggish in January amid limited restocking following the holiday season. Prices of rounds continued to increase as select categories were in short supply following India’s two-month freeze on rough imports, which ended December 15. This trend will likely continue until inventories become too large. However, buyers were reluctant to close deals at these prices. US dealers mostly bought for immediate demand and not for inventory. Sales in mainland China remained slow.

India’s Gold Market Reform and Growth

Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the Surat Diamond Bourse, the world’s largest and modern centre for international diamond and jewellery business.

GJEPC has successfully enlisted the IIJS Signature 2024 Exhibition under the “Procurement and Marketing Support” scheme of the Ministry of MSME. The scheme provides financial assistance to micro and small enterprises for participating in domestic and international trade fairs and exhibitions. As a result, the eligible exhibitors can now avail themselves of a grant of  `1.50 lakh each, which will help them cover costs and enhance their visibility and competitiveness in the global market.

According to the World Gold Council’s data series, central banks saw the third strongest quarter of net buying, reaching 337t. Although shy of breaking the Q3 2022 record, year-to-date demand has reached 800t, a new record for our data series.

Second quarter central bank demand was down y/y to 103t, primarily driven by net sales in Turkey due to country-specific political and economic circumstances.

Consumers showed up to the shops and purchased jewellery despite hiked jewellery prices during Akshaya Tritiya

Akshaya Tritiya is considered an auspicious occasion to buy gold as it is believed to bring prosperity and good luck. However, this year, during this season the jewellers were assuming that sales of the jewellery will not be as expected since the gold prices hover above Rs 60,000 per 10 gram; but unexpectedly it turned out to be good one as on the day of Akshaya Tritiya despite heavy gold prices consumers showed up to the shops and purchased jewellery.

Jewellery industry shared mixed reactions to Union Budget 2023. While most of the players applauded the well-balanced Budget but the major demand of the sector to reduce the import duty on gold was not addressed by Finance Minister. The reduction in gold duty in this Budget was a big expectation, which has severely hampered the industry and has encouraged smuggling and grey market.  The Budget boosted the prospects for lab grown diamonds and signalled possibilities that the industry could ride on this growth opportunity.

With IIJS Tritiya, the gold drive is on the roll despite the volatile gold prices . All eyes are on the upcoming wedding season to prove the much needed flip to the demand . 

The Tanishq benchmark of sales and figures has reflected a buoyant buying sentiment for the year.

Union Budget 2023-24: GJEPC seeks jewellery repair policy to make India a global outsourcing service centre and hub

For the Union Budget 2023-24, GJEPC has recommended a series of suggestions across verticals of gem and jewellery (G&J), which would help in propelling the exports from the sector and achieve the goal of USD 55 billion in G&J exports by 2025. GJEPC has sought reduction in Import Duty on gold, silver and platinum to 4% as a prime recommendation in their wishlist to the Government of India. GJEPC believes that this import duty is draining off the capital from the exporters and is the generator of economic malpractices of all kind.

India’s robust gem and jewellery export performance in the first six months of the financial year 2022-23 has helped to maintain growth for the period April to October 2022, despite a sharp dip in exports in the month of October 2022. The decline in exports in the month of October or November is a seasonal trend consistent with previous years as manufacturing activities are either limited or units are closed because of the Diwali season. Traditionally, a spike in exports is seen once again post the Diwali holiday period.

India Jewellery Retail Market Moving Towards Robust, Organised Eco-System; Chain Store Share Rises To 35%: WGC Report

The World Gold Council launched a report titled ‘Jewellery market structure’, as part of a series of in-depth analysis on the Indian gold market. The report highlights a notable shift in India’s gold jewellery market over the past few years, catalysed by changes in consumer behaviour and government regulations. While small independent retailers still dominate the landscape, the market share of chain stores (national and regional) has increased steadily over the last decade. In contrast to the retail jewellery trade, changes at the manufacturing level have been relatively slower but as the market continues to develop, organised retail and manufacturing operations are well-poised to see their market share grow.

For the cumulative period of April – September 2022, the overall gross exports of gem & jewellery witnessed a growth of 12.82% to Rs.  161545.06 crores (6.31% in dollar terms to US$ 20580.11 million) as compared to Rs. 143187.15 crores (US$ 19359.01 million) for the same period last year. With this the gem & jewellery sector has managed to achieve 45% of the total export target of USD 45.7 billion for the year 2022-23.
