In the AI sector, applications that can generate different content such as text, images, videos or sound are on the rise. Precious metal components such as chips, memories and capacitors are increasingly coming into focus in this generative AI. The number of circuit boards required is constantly increasing. Production capacities for AI servers are increasing, which means that more platinum, silver, palladium and gold will be used. The 5G network, the new 6G network and Wi-Fi7 will influence chip manufacturers. New AI products will conquer the market. Even if supply chains are currently still suffering from geopolitical problems, growth in the field of artificial intelligence will be unstoppable.
Overall, the importance of gold in industry is relatively low, with only around seven percent of global gold demand coming from industry. Nevertheless, gold is essential for the aerospace industry and is contained in every smartphone, including computers. After all, gold is corrosion-resistant and electrically conductive. Medicine also benefits from the properties of gold in certain areas. For investors, gold is a means of diversification, and it has a value-preserving function. In the USA, the gold market is currently attracting new participants.
Purchases by private investors have also increased in Germany. Incidentally, since the euro was introduced in 2002, the price of gold has risen by 469 percent in euro terms (up to July 2023).
