Gold and Precious Metals: Real-Time Intelligence as Bullion Soars

The role of precious metals as strategic assets has never been more relevant, especially to the emerging markets where CEIC’s deep roots provide timely insights.

Key Benefits:

• Superior Granularity for the Major Gold Miners in Emerging Markets

China is a major gold consumer, but it’s the biggest producer as well. Meanwhile, over 70% of platinum 
and 40% of palladium output is tied to South Africa and Russia. Our high-frequency data tracks short-term trends in mining output while unlocking insights on decades of change. We offer over 14,000 gold time series and more than 5,000 additional series on platinum-group metals and silver.

• Daily e-commerce data

Gold isn’t just a strategic asset in the financial world: it’s a consumer good too, especially in key markets like India. Our high-frequency datasets monitor purchases of gold and jewelry.

• Tapping the Inflation Link for Unique Insights: Timely Nowcasting

Precious-metal price movements are often tied to the inflation outlook. That provides another use case for CEIC’s proprietary nowcasts, which leverage machine-learning technology. We provide 40 nowcasting datasets across 16 major economies, delivering weekly estimates that have an early edge on official figures provided after long time lags.
