Investors have long prized gold as a hedge against inflation and economic uncertainty, but one of the world’s fastest-growing industries is now fueling a new source of demand for the precious metal.
asserted
one → prize → metal
The buildout of artificial intelligence (AI) is driving investment in advanced semiconductors, servers and the sprawling data centers needed to power the technology.
asserted
buildout → drive → technology
That expansion also requires a range of materials used in high-performance electronics, including gold.
asserted
expansion → require → gold
And the AI boom is creating a growing need at a time when gold is already historically expensive.
asserted
gold → create → time
Despite those high prices, tech companies aren't necessarily switching to cheaper materials — suggesting demand for golf could continue to grow alongside AI.
uncertain
demand → switch → AI
Gold is valued in electronics for its conductivity, reliability and resistance to corrosion — and its role in some technology applications is proving resilient despite trading at roughly $4,153 an ounce on Oct. 5, up nearly 6%, or about $225, from a year earlier.
asserted
role → value → Oct.
Joseph Cavatoni, a gold market expert and senior market strategist for North America at the World Gold Council, said companies would typically consider cheaper alternatives after developing technology that relies on gold.
asserted
that → say → gold
But that isn't necessarily happening.
asserted
that → happen → ?
"They might pioneer a technology with gold involved and then say, ‘Let’s find something cheaper like tungsten to replace it,’" Cavatoni told Fox News Digital.
uncertain
Cavatoni → pioneer → Digital
"But what we’re finding in this case is they’re not."
asserted
they → find → case
Technology demand is already showing signs of growth.
asserted
demand → show → growth
Gold demand from the sector rose 2% from a year earlier to 80.4 metric tons in the second quarter, according to the World Gold Council.
uncertain
demand → rise → Council
Electronics demand climbed 4% to 68.3 tons, fueled by AI infrastructure, high-end semiconductors and advanced components.
asserted
demand → climb → infrastructure
Cavatoni said gold can offer advantages over substitutes in applications such as chip production and heat conduction.
asserted
gold → say → production
The AI sector may also be less sensitive to elevated gold prices because relatively small amounts of the metal are needed.
uncertain
amounts → need → metal
"This is a rapidly growing space that’s less sensitive to price," Cavatoni said.
asserted
Cavatoni → grow → price
"It’s going to likely continue to grow as the AI space grows."
asserted
space → go → ?
Still, technology remains a small part of the overall gold market compared with investment, central-bank buying and jewelry.
asserted
technology → remain → investment
Cavatoni said it is "less likely to be a driver of the price of gold."
asserted
it → say → gold
For now, Cavatoni described technology as an increasingly important contributor to gold demand that "doesn’t appear to be slowing down anytime soon."
asserted
that → describe → demand
