2 new gold ETFs launched
New Delhi, Jul 10 (PTI) Gold Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) attracted a net sum of Rs 2,081 crore in June, making it the highest monthly inflow in five months, driven by resilient prices of the yellow metal, geopolitical uncertainties and volatility in equity markets.
“The robust inflows in June indicate a decisive shift in sentiment, likely supported by resilient gold prices, geopolitical uncertainties, and volatility in equity and fixed income markets, which have revived gold’s appeal as a safe-haven asset,” Nehal Meshram, Senior Analyst-Manager Research, Morningstar Investment Research India, said.
