A CLEAR LOOK AT DIAMONDS VISUAL CAPITALIST

on Did you know that nearly one-fifth of all the gold ever mined is held by
central banks? Besides investors and jewelry consumers, central banks are a
major source of gold demand. In fact, in 2022, central banks snapped up gold at
the fastest pace since 1967. However, the record gold purchases of 2022 are in
stark contrast to the 1990s and early 2000s, when central banks were net sellers
of gold....

AMERICA IS SHAKING OFF ITS ADDICTION TO OIL VISUAL CAPITALIST

America Is Shaking Off Its Addiction to Oil Bloomberg has created an impressive
graphical presentation on how America’s oil addiction is waning. Click here to
view it in a new window. Gasoline, at an average cost of $2.67 per gallon, is
now the cheapest it has been in the United States since 2010. This comes in
tandem with a tumbling oil price, which has left oil exporting countries such as
Russia in a tough situation....

CHART THE NETFLIX GENERATION

Chart: The Netflix Generation Millennials, streaming platforms, and the slow
death of cable television The Chart of the Week is a weekly Visual Capitalist
feature on Fridays. Since launching in the United States in 1948, cable
television quickly emerged as the media consumption method of choice for
families around the world. Cable brought to us some of the most memorable and
noteworthy events in history. People saw the fall of the Berlin Wall from their
living rooms in 1989 – and many even remember being inspired by Neil Armstrong
taking his first steps on the moon twenty years earlier....

CHART THE TRUMP EFFECT ON CURRENCIES

The Trump Effect on Currencies Rhetoric has already had an impact on currencies
in a big way The Chart of the Week is a weekly Visual Capitalist feature on
Fridays. Targeting companies or entire nations on Twitter is an unprecedented
and controversial method of communication for a President-elect – but one can’t
argue with its effectiveness so far. In today’s chart, we take a look at Donald
Trump’s rather unconventional form of “monetary policy”, and how it has
potentially influenced the U....

CHART WHAT ASSETS MAKE UP WEALTH

A person’s wealth can be made up of many different assets. Net worth, the
measure we use to gauge wealth, is actually the sum of all of a person’s assets
after subtracting liabilities (such as loans). Therefore, net worth can be
comprised of liquid savings, stocks, mutual funds, bonds, real estate, vehicles,
retirement accounts (IRAs, pensions), and many other types of assets. But how
does the composition of net worth differ for a person with $100k in net worth,
versus that of a billionaire?...

COLOR IN BRANDING WHAT DOES IT SAY ABOUT YOUR INDUSTRY

The color red is the perfect example. When it is used as a primary color for
McDonald’s, red is meant to energize and attract the attention of potential
customers. Red is also thought by some psychologists as a hunger stimulant,
which might help them sell more Big Macs and McNuggets at the end of the day.
However, in the case of a company such as British Airways, red is supposed to
represent none of those things....

COMPARING LUXURY INVESTMENT AROUND THE WORLD VISUAL CAPITALIST

Unlike traditional investments in financial assets, luxury goods can be
difficult to value if one does not have an appreciation for their form. A rare
painting, for example, does not generate cash flows, meaning its value is truly
in the eye of the beholder. To gain some insight into the market for luxury
goods, this infographic takes data from Knight Frank’s 2021 Wealth Report to
compare the preferences of nine global regions....

FOUR MAPS SHOWING CHINA S RISING DOMINANCE IN TRADE

China’s economic prowess is one of these new paradigms that has emerged, but
many people still can’t really wrap their heads around the scale or scope of it.
It’s happened suddenly, and the ramifications are extremely relevant to our
investments and understanding. Here’s four maps on China’s trade dominance that
will help you think differently about the world: China is the world’s #1 trade
partner Image courtesy of: Connectography The United States is the number one
trading partner for 56 countries, with important relationships throughout North
America, South America, and Western Europe....

INFOGRAPHIC HOW LONG DO INVESTORS PLAN TO HOLD ONTO BITCOIN

As in any new and rapidly-growing market, this kind of investor intent and the
overall feeling of market sentiment matters a lot. That’s because there are no
historical averages or ratios to apply as baselines for value, and if things
head south there is always the possibility of a mass exodus. Buy, Hodl, and
Prosper? Today’s infographic comes to us from Raconteur, and it helps map out
the future price expectations of crypto investors, along with how long they plan
to hold onto their digital assets....

INFOGRAPHIC THE 2017 CREATIVE CITY INDEX

According to the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, the creative economy accounts
for 4.2% of the GDP and is valued at $704 billion. It’s also a segment of the
economy that’s still growing. For example, art director and graphic design jobs
are growing across the country at rates of 9% and 13%, respectively. While there
is no consensus on where to draw the line on what jobs or sectors are
“creative”, we do know that cities are the primary places where measurable
creative activities take place....

INFOGRAPHIC THE COST OF LIVING AROUND THE WORLD

The Cost of Living Around the World Imagine that users submitted hundreds of
thousands of prices for everyday items, and that they all got compiled into a
massive database. Then, suppose a worldwide index of prices was created that
compared the cost of living across different places by using these many data
points. Well, that’s already happened at Numbeo which is the world’s largest
database of user contributed data about cities and countries....

Timeline: The Future of Money For a larger version of this infographic, click
here. Predicting the future isn’t easy. For example, in 1977 it was predicted by
Ken Olsen, a well-known tech entrepreneur at the time, that “There is no reason
for any individual to have a computer in his home.” It was not only an
inaccurate prediction, but decades later the exact opposite has happened.
Billions of computers now fit in our homes and our pockets....

INFOGRAPHIC THE NEXT BIG HURDLE FOR OIL AND GAS IS WATER USE

Surprisingly, the situation is not as different on land as you might think. In
some counties in the U.S., especially those with lots of oil and gas activity,
there are billions of gallons of waste water, brackish water, or saline water
that aren’t potable for human consumption. At the same time, these counties are
receiving limited rainfall, and freshwater has become an increasingly scarce and
valuable commodity. Water Innovation is Needed The fact is, horizontal drilling
and fracking operations use large amounts of water....

INFOGRAPHIC THE RAW MATERIALS THAT FUEL THE GREEN REVOLUTION

Records for renewable energy consumption were smashed around the world in 2017.
Looking at national and state grids, progress has been extremely impressive. In
Costa Rica, for example, renewable energy supplied five million people with all
of their electricity needs for a stretch of 300 consecutive days. Meanwhile, the
U.K. broke 13 green energy records in 2017 alone, and California’s largest grid
operator announced it got 67.2% of its energy from renewables (excluding hydro)
on May 13, 2017....

INFOGRAPHIC VISUALIZING THE BUSINESS VALUE OF THE BLOCKCHAIN

Blockchain can be an elusive concept. Its abstract nature leaves many wondering
if this emerging technology is the global catalyst evangelists claim it to be.
But blockchain is more of a tool than a catalyst – not a one-size-fits-all, but
a new foundation underpinning our everyday tasks. It offers industries a
techno-driven facelift with its ability to increase productivity, ensure
transparency, and reduce wasted time and paperwork. Today’s graphic is inspired
by a study from McKinsey....

RARE EARTH ELEMENTS THE TECHNOLOGY METALS VISUAL CAPITALIST

on But fast forward to the end of last week, and SVB was shuttered by regulators
after a panic-induced bank run. So, how exactly did this happen? We dig in
below. Road to a Bank Run SVB and its customers generally thrived during the low
interest rate era, but as rates rose, SVB found itself more exposed to risk than
a typical bank. Even so, at the end of 2022, the bank’s balance sheet showed no
cause for alarm....

SIX PROBLEMS FOR DRIVERLESS CARS AND THEIR TRACK RECORD

Six Problems Facing Driverless Cars and Their Track Record Driverless car
technology is here to stay. Their track record so far is very impressive with
Google cars driving over a million miles since 2009. During that time, 13
accidents have been recorded, but all of them were caused by other drivers or by
human intervention. The robots themselves have been virtually flawless. Right
now, various vehicle manufacturers (Mercedes-Benz, General Motors, Toyota,
Tesla, Audi, and more) have already built prototypes of driverless cars, and
tech companies (Google, Uber, and potentially even Apple) are working on similar
ambitions....
