The World Gold Council's Alistair Hewitt talks through their Q4 and full year 2017 report.

He says gold demand rallied in the closing months of 2017, gaining 6% year-on-year in Q4 to reach 1,095.8 tonnes.

However he adds that overall demand for the full year fell by 7% to 4,071.7 tonnes, compared with 2016.

Hewitt says inflows into ETFs continued steadily throughout the year, totalling 202.8t, but lagged behind the exceptional levels seen the year before.
