Gold-backed ETF holdings are increasing even as US 10-year real yields reach their highest level in over 20 years, indicating a shift in the traditional inverse relationship between gold demand and real yields. Typically, higher real yields make bonds more attractive than gold, which pays no interest, leading to lower gold demand. However, concerns about fiscal sustainability and rising government debt are causing investors to view gold as a safer asset despite rising yields. This trend is supported by continued central bank purchases and growing investor demand from both Western and Asian markets, suggesting a broader base of gold buyers and a bullish outlook despite recent rate hikes.
The recent trends in gold-backed ETF flows and real yields provide context for market dynamics.
