Gold ETF Inflows & Price Surge

Gold ETFs experienced record inflows of $8 billion last week, significantly exceeding previous records. First-quarter 2025 inflows totaled $80 billion, coinciding with gold prices reaching all-time highs above $3,300 per ounce, a 25% year-to-date increase.

Market Drivers

Increased gold demand is fueled by global uncertainty, including trade tensions following President Trump’s actions, inflation worries, and currency devaluation. The U.S. dollar index has fallen to a three-year low, and expectations of interest rate cuts, along with a spike in the VIX, have contributed to this trend; U.S. retail sales increased 1.4% in March.
