Highlights from the report:

Global Gold Market: Second quarter 2013 review

• Jewellery: Multi-year high in the jewellery sector as lower prices generated a surge in demand from consumers.
• Investment: Record demand for gold bars and coins was countered by sizeable net outflows from ETFs, resulting in a year-on-year decline in overall investment demand relative to Q2 2012.
• Technology: Technology sector saw marginal growth, the 1% year-on-year increase the first in two years.
• Central Banks: Central banks demand slowed in Q2 2013 from record quarter in year previous, marking tenth consecutive quarter of purchases.
• Supply: Total gold supply shrunk 6% from Q2 2012, almost solely due to the reduction in recycling
