Gold investment demand surged by 990 tonnes in 2025 as buyers shifted from jewelry to bars and coins
Gold investment demand rose by 990 tonnes in 2025, driven by a clear pivot away from jewelry purchases and toward physical investment products. Bar and coin buying reached 474 tonnes in Q1 2026, marking the second-strongest quarter on record. A similar rotation is playing out in silver: investment demand increased by 13.5 million ounces in 2025. The data suggest the world is not stepping back from precious metals—it is reallocating toward more investment-focused forms. #Gold #Silver #PreciousMetals
