Event Summary

Global investors rotated back into gold ETFs in April, recording $6.6 billion in inflows, according to a report by the World Gold Council. This rebound followed notable outflows in March, with all regions registering positive flows. European funds led the recovery with $3.7 billion, while Asian funds, spearheaded by China, China — Hong Kong, India, and Japan, added $1.8 billion. India marked its 11th consecutive month of inflows with $297 million. North America also reversed course with $1 billion in inflows. The increased interest in Gold was linked to heightened geopolitical and geoeconomic risks, including the Iran conflict, falling yields, and a less hawkish United Kingdom — Bank of England. Global gold market trading volumes fell 24% month-on-month but remained above the 2025 average, signaling ample liquidity.
