Largest inflow for gold EFTs

ByVictoria

Physically backed gold exchange-traded funds (ETFs) registered the largest quarterly inflow in three years in January-March, 2025, data from the World Gold Council (WGC) showed on Tuesday.

Investors seeking shelter from political and economic volatility were moving into gold ETFs, which store bullion for investors, in the first quarter.

Gold ETFs saw an inflow of 226.5 metric tons worth $21.1 billion in the first quarter, the largest amount since the first quarter of 2022, when global markets were grappling with the immediate consequences of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
