About Gold
Editorial overviewWhat is gold?
Gold (Au, atomic number 79) is a soft, dense, lustrous yellow precious metal — chemically inert and one of the least reactive elements. Per USGS Mineral Commodity Summaries 2026, gold serves three distinct roles: monetary reserve asset held by central banks, investment store of value (bars, coins, ETFs), and industrial input (jewellery, electronics, dentistry). Unlike base metals, the vast majority of gold ever mined still exists — above-ground stocks dwarf annual mine production.

Gold trades on multiple officially regulated exchanges. Each publishes its own daily settlement, fixing or auction reference price for its specific contract — there is no single “world price”. The complete list of active regulated venues for gold:

What gold is used for
Global gold demand by end-use in full-year 2025, per the World Gold Council Gold Demand Trends FY 2025 (total demand 4,999.4 t): Investment 2,175.3 t (43.5%) — bars, coins and ETF inflows; Jewellery fabrication 1,638.0 t (32.8%); Central banks & official sector 863.3 t (17.3%) — fourth consecutive year above 800 t of net official-sector buying; Technology 322.8 t (6.5%) — electronics, dentistry, industrial. Total supply 5,075.9 t was sourced from mine production 3,671.6 t and recycled gold 1,404.3 t.
Key facts about gold supply
Mine vs recycled (WGC FY2025): Mine production 3,671.6 t and recycled scrap 1,404.3 t together supply the market; recycled gold accounts for ~28% of annual supply. Central banks (WGC): Net official-sector purchases exceeded 800 t for the fourth consecutive year in 2025 — a structural shift from the post-2008 pattern. Reserves cover (USGS MCS 2026): World reserves 66,000 t vs world mining 3,300 t in 2025e — about 20 years of cover at current rates, before recycling. Above-ground stock: Per WGC, ~213,000 t of gold has been mined throughout history; the overwhelming majority still exists in jewellery, coins, bars, central-bank vaults and ETFs. Recycling is structural, not cyclical: unlike base metals, almost all gold ever produced remains recoverable.
