Global gold market steady through Q1

摘要

The first three months of 2015 saw stable gold demand. Total demand for first-quarter 2015 was 1,079 tonnes, down just 1% on the same period last year. Conditions differed from market to market, but at an aggregate level, these differences balanced each other out. Once again consumers in Eastern countries dominated the market, with China and India alone accounting for 54% of total global consumer demand in the quarter.
