updates: China has become the world's largest consumer of gold, surpassing India, due to a shift in preference from diamonds to gold. The Chinese economy's slowdown, weak yuan, and stock market volatility have made gold a more attractive investment option. Even though gold prices have reached new highs, Chinese youth, especially in tier-3 and -4 cities, are eating less and saving more to buy gold. The economic downturn in these cities has led to lower prices for real estate, making gold a more appealing investment. China's biggest gold retailer, Chow Tai Fook, has expanded its presence in these lower-tier cities. The annual per capita consumption of gold in these cities has increased, surpassing the national average and consumption levels in tier-1 and -2 cities. China's gold demand has spiked by 16%, with jewelry demand increasing by 10% and investments up by 28% from 2022. Retail sales for gold and silver jewelry have exceeded overall retail sales of consumer goods.
