“Healthy Q3, driven by stronger consumer and central bank buying, helped year-to-date demand recover to pre-COVID norms. Gold demand (excluding OTC) in Q3 was 28% higher y-o-y at 1,181t. Year-to-date (y-t-d) demand increased 18% vs the same period in 2021, returning to pre-pandemic levels.”

USAGOLD note: Only institutionally-driven ETF demand bucked the global demand upswing – overall the strongest gains year over year since 2013.
