Gold demand driven by investment demand in the 2nd quarter and first half of the year – Commerzbank
The World Gold Council has published data on Gold demand in the second quarter. At just under 1,250 tons, demand was a good 3% higher than in the previous year. Given that the price of Gold rose by more than 40% compared to the same quarter last year, this is remarkable. Excluding the residual category “OTC and other,” the increase was even 10.4%, Commerzbank's commodity analyst Carsten Fritsch notes.
