Gold is something which is never affected by the forces of demand and supply, inflation and employment and other such factors. It is a commodity which follows the Giffin’s Paradox and its demand increases with price. No matter it is recently mined or is melted and recasted from old jewelleries.
Gold is a metal which is traded in the market on the basis of its current market value, and the most advantageous factor being its consistent price across the globe. Hence, people having stores of gold in other forms are prompted to get their gold recycled and brought back to the market.

Hence, the actual volume of gold is not received, resulting in a certain percentage of revenue loss. It is better to sell of the gold as it is if it is felt that recycling will reduce the gold volume significantly.
