High Gold Prices Reduce Bullion Demand Among Non-Investors

Surging gold prices in early 2026 significantly weakened non-investment demand for the metal, particularly in the jewelry sector. As gold prices climbed above $5,000 per ounce for the first time, many consumers reduced purchases of gold for personal and decorative use. Reports from the World Gold Council indicate that jewelry demand, together with industrial and technological use, dropped sharply during the first quarter of the year. Excluding recycled gold and scrap sales, global non-investment demand fell to just above 50 tons, marking one of the weakest quarterly performances outside the Covid-19 lockdown period of 2020. Despite the decline in consumer use, investment demand for gold remained strong. Purchases…

Should You Buy Gold After Its Price Pullback?

Gold has retreated about 15% from its start of the year peak of $5,589 an ounce and is now trading near $4,700. For long-term investors, this kind of decline within an ongoing bull market has historically been more of an entry point than a warning. The key forces that pushed gold higher, like persistent inflation, strong central bank demand, currency debasement, and geopolitical uncertainty, are still firmly in place. Market corrections like this are not unusual, especially given that gold has never moved in a straight line. During the 2008 financial crisis, prices dropped sharply before rallying to new highs…

Growing Copper Inventories Put Bearish Cloud on Markets

A wave of pessimism is spreading through the global copper market as rising inventories collide with weakening demand. Even before geopolitical tensions linked to the U.S.-Iran conflict raised alarms about global growth, sellers were already struggling to move cargoes. This came as China’s appetite slowed and traders pulled back from shipping metal to the U.S. after tariff-driven opportunities faded. On one side now, physical copper markets are showing clear signs of oversupply, with warehouses filling rapidly. On the other, futures prices remain elevated, supported by investor optimism. The key question now is how long this disconnect can last. In recent weeks, producers and traders have increasingly pushed copper into the spot…
