Today is Sunday 5th February 2017 and we are briefly summarising the World Gold Council’s 2016 Demand Report published last Friday.
These are the main highlights of that Report:
1. 2016 full-year gold demand gained 2% to reach a 3-year high of 4,308.7t.
2. Annual inflows into ETFs reached 531.9t, the second highest on record – the highest being in 2009. However Q4 saw outflows from ETF’s
3. Declines in jewellery and central bank purchases offset this growth.
4. Annual bar and coin demand was broadly stable at 1,029.2t, helped by a Q4 surge especially by China which was China’s strongest quarter for bar and coin demand since Q2 of 2013.
5. The gold price ended the year up 8%. Having risen 25% by the end of September, gold relinquished some of its gains in Q4 following Trump’s conciliatory acceptance speech and the FOMC’s interest rate rise.
6. 2016 saw a 7-year low for jewellery demand. Rising prices for much of the year, regulatory and fiscal hurdles in India, and China’s softening economy were key reasons for weakness in the sector. India’s shock demonetisation policy brought the market to a virtual standstill. An initial rush for gold following the policy announcement came to a swift halt in the ensuing cash crunch.
7. Central bank demand was the lowest since 2010. Net purchases, which amounted to 383.6t,were 33% lower than 2015, due in part to increased pressure on FX reserves. Despite this, 2016 was the 7th consecutive year of net purchases by central banks.
So 2016 was positive for gold both in demand and price terms. Manipulation conspiracy or reality aside, it is clear that when prices fall, gold purchases increase and when they rise, they fall especially jewellery which was hardest hit. What is interesting to note, is that despite all the fear spread for years about the US and world economies, coin and bar demand remains relatively stable signifying that neither the public nor the investing community has particularly caught the gold bug as yet.

This site provides links to random videos hosted at YouTube, with the emphasis on random. 🎥
Origins of the Idea 🌱
The original idea for this site stemmed from the need to benchmark the popularity of a video against the general population of YouTube videos. 🧠
Challenges Faced 🤔
Obtaining a large sample of videos was crucial for accurate ranking, but YouTube lacks a direct method to gather random video IDs.
Even searching for random strings on YouTube doesn't yield truly random results, complicating the process further. 🔍
Creating Truly Random Links 🛠️
The YouTube API offers additional functions enabling the discovery of more random videos. Through inventive techniques and a touch of space-time manipulation, we've achieved a process yielding nearly 100% random links to YouTube videos.
