The World Gold Council's Gold Investment Digest (GID) is the leading quarterly industry analysis on gold price performance on a historical basis and relative to other global financial assets.

GID is organised into four sections:

Price trends – Gold price and volatility performance in multiple currencies and its relation to other global financial assets including most liquid commodities.

Investment trends – Trends in the most active gold investment markets including ETFs, futures and options, and over-the counter products.

Economic trends – An analysis of the most important macro-economic factors that influenced gold’s performance during the period.

Gold market trends – Gold demand and supply statistics as of the last available World Gold Council Gold Demand Trends publication, and discussion on preliminary reports on recent trends and their effect on gold’s performance.

Additionally, we provide a concise key data summary - financial statistics on gold and various assets including price, volatility and correlation measures.
