In this episode, we chat with Krishan Gopaul, Senior Research Analyst at the World Gold Council, who are the authority on Gold. They explore the unique gold market and industry research, producing analysis, commentary, and insights on the precious metal to improve the understanding, access, and trust in the yellow metal. Krishan has been with the World Council for over 14 years and is here today to give us an update on their latest Gold Demands Trend report for the first quarter of this year, some of the main drivers of gold at the moment, investor demand, and the activities of the central banks, and more. KEY TAKEAWAYS In the first quarter of 2025, total gold demand increased by 1% to 1,206 tonnes, marking the highest first quarter of gold demand since 2016. Investment demand, particularly from gold ETFs, was a significant driver of this increase. The main drivers for gold demand included macroeconomic factors such as inflation concerns and geopolitical uncertainties. Central banks continued to be a major source of demand, with ongoing purchases contributing to the overall support for gold prices. Retail investment in gold, particularly in bars and coins, saw a 3% year-on-year increase in the first quarter. This growth was driven by heightened uncertainty in the market, prompting both institutional and retail investors to seek gold as a safe haven asset. Central banks have been net buyers of gold since 2010, with significant purchases continuing into 2025. Emerging market central banks, such as those in Poland and China, were noted as key purchasers, maintaining a robust demand for gold. Jewellery demand faced pressure due to rising gold prices, with a 21% year-on-year decline in consumption. However, the value of gold jewellery sales increased by 40% year-on-year, indicating that consumers were spending more despite purchasing less volume, reflecting a shift towards viewing jewellery as an investment. BEST MOMENTS "We saw total gold demand in the first quarter up 1% to 1,206 tonnes, the highest first quarter of gold demand that we have seen since 2016." "In times of heightened uncertainty, gold tends to perform well; people see it as a safe haven asset." "Central banks have been net buyers of gold since 2010, and this trend is likely to persist." "Jewellery consumption was down 21% year on year, unsurprisingly given the rapid increase in price that we've seen."

He balances deep research with a creative flair (just read one of the titles of his research reports and you can see his love of the game). He's been named to Institutional Investor's All-America Research Team for his coverage, most recently ranking #2 and runner up in 2023, #1 and #2 in 2022.

On this episode of the FEG Insight Bridge Podcast, CIO Greg Dowling welcomes Max Belmont, Portfolio Manager and Senior Research Analyst at First Eagle Investments. Max discusses the growing interest in gold amid global economic uncertainties, exploring its role as a potential hedge against inflation and currency devaluation. The discussion also covers the dynamics of gold mining investments, the impact of central bank policies, and the comparison between gold and digital assets like Bitcoin.Tune in for key insights on the enduring allure of gold and exploration of its strategic importance in today's investment landscape.Key TakeawaysGold is prized as a potential safe haven due to its stability and limited supply. Unlike other commodities, gold does not corrode or degrade, maintaining its value over long periods. This makes it a potential hedge against economic instability and currency devaluation.The historical context of gold, including its role during periods of hyperinflation and economic turmoil, has influenced its perception as a stable investment. Central banks have shifted from being net sellers to net buyers of gold, especially after the 2008 financial crisis and recent geopolitical tensions, such as the Russia-Ukraine conflict.While both gold and cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin are seen as alternatives to traditional financial assets, they behave differently. Gold is a "risk-off" asset, providing stability during market downturns, whereas Bitcoin is more volatile and behaves like a "risk-on" asset, similar to growth stocks.First Eagle's approach to investing in gold includes holding physical gold and investing in gold mining companies. The investment strategy focuses on valuation, resilience, duration, and optionality to ensure a margin of safety and long-term value.You can find every episode of FEG Insight Bridge podcasts in one place and sign up to receive our other publications here.

Send us a textSmallpox may be gone but it's got a cousin called mpox, and that virus is now spreading fast across parts of Africa.As of October 2024, this mpox outbreak had infected more than 40,000 people, mostly in the Democratic Republic of Congo, according to the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention. More than 1,000 people have died from the infection. The World Health Organization (WHO) declared mpox in the Democratic Republic of Congo and neighboring countries to be a Public Health Emergency of International Concern in August 2024.Officials are distributing smallpox vaccines to try to control it. The viruses are closely enough related so researchers believe that modern smallpox vaccines can protect people safely against mpox. But the rollout is slow.  It's not clear why the virus has started spreading in households, but it's infecting and killing more and more children.To make matters worse, people are desperate for medicines to prevent infection and help treat symptoms, which include fevers and a rash. They're seeking antibiotics, which cannot treat a virus. This inappropriate use of antibiotics can drive drug resistance.This is the second time mpox has been declared a public health emergency by the WHO since 2022. A slightly different strain of mpox has been spreading since then through close contact, often sexual and often among men who have sex with men. Mpox is even now showing up in new cities and countries in North America and Europe.Nodar Kipshidze, Senior Research Analyst at the One Health Trust, says the virus spreads easily because people often don't know they have it. It's also not clear where it originally came from, although small rodents and other mammals can spread it. In this episode of One World, One Health, Nodar tells us mpox is causing a lot of confusion, and we need to ensure we learn from previous outbreaks and share resources globally to stop the spread and save lives.

Antisemitism is on the rise today. From synagogue shootings by white nationalists, to right-wing politicians and media figures pushing George Soros conspiracy theories, it's clear that exclusionary nationalist movements are growing. By spreading division and fear, they put Jews, along with other marginalized groups and multiracial democracy itself, at risk. And since the outbreak of war in Gaza, debates around antisemitism have become more polarized and high-stakes than ever. How can we stand in solidarity with Palestinians seeking justice, while also avoiding antisemitism — and resisting those who seek to conflate the two? How do we forge the coalitions across communities that we need, in order to overcome the politics of division and fear? In Safety through Solidarity: A Radical Guide to Fighting Antisemitism (Melville House, 2024), Shane Burley and Ben Lorber help us break the current impasse to understand how antisemitism works, what's missing in contemporary debates, and how to build true safety through solidarity, for Jews and all people. Shane Burley is a writer and filmmaker based in Portland, Oregon. Ben Lorber is a Senior Research Analyst at Political Research Associates, a progressive think tank that monitors far-right movements.
