Gold-backed exchange-traded funds (ETFs) attracted a record $31 billion in inflows during the third quarter, driven by strong demand in the US, UK, and Europe despite higher interest rates and a stronger US dollar. The World Gold Council reported 67.3 tonnes of gold flowed into global ETFs in September alone, with North American and European funds leading the gains. Persistent inflation, energy price concerns, and market volatility continue to support gold's appeal as a portfolio diversifier. Looking ahead, elevated bond yields and fiscal risks may sustain investor interest in gold even if central banks pause rate hikes.
