Gold has had an extraordinary year in 2024, marked 40 record-breaking price peaks and a recent volatility…all influenced by geopolitical events, Fed rate cuts, central bank purchases and Trump’s return to the White House. India’s consumer demand was a standout despite price hikes and helped by a duty cut. Gold-backed ETFs gained traction, growing by 14 tons this year. And let’s not forget the growing demand for the yellow metal in AI technology. Host Anirban Chowdhury talks to Sachin Jain, Regional CEO, World Gold Council, Gayatri Nayak from ET and S Mehta of Indian Bullion and Jewellers Association to chronicle the new age gold rush.
