Demand in the gold jewelry industry declined, which is hardly surprising given the high price of gold. Compared to the same quarter last year, global demand for jewelry fell by around 21%. However, based on value, consumer spending increased by around nine percent. We have seen that the price of gold has repeatedly reached new record highs in 2025. The reasons – customs uncertainties, geopolitical disputes, volatile stock markets and a weakening US dollar – are obvious. Incidentally, due to the high gold price in the first quarter of 2025, the demand for gold rose by around 40% in terms of value. During this period, recycling fell by around one percent and gold production at mines rose by around one percent. Ultimately, the World Gold Council assumes that gold investments will continue to rise due to the current situation. Central banks from the emerging markets in particular will contribute to this, as they want to move away from their dependence on the dollar and increasingly focus on gold. Investors should still be well advised to invest part of their assets in gold and gold stocks. Among the gold stocks, Vizsla Silver and Miata Metals have been pleasing.
