TREE NEWS reports: Global gold ETFs attracted $18 billion in August, the second-largest monthly inflow on record, pushing total assets under management to $615 billion and holdings to a record 4,189 tonnes. North America saw its third-largest monthly inflow, while Europe had its strongest month ever, together accounting for nearly 90% of global demand. Daily trading volumes rose 21% month-on-month.
Gold ETFs see record $18B August inflows
AI take
The scale of August inflows suggests gold is being treated as a portfolio hedge amid broader market uncertainty, with Europe's record participation signaling that demand is no longer U.S.-centric. The jump in trading volumes points to heightened speculative activity, not just steady accumulation. The key question is whether this pace is sustainable, as record holdings leave the market more exposed to a sharp reversal if sentiment shifts.
