In 2025, gold prices hit record highs 53 times, with unprecedented capital inflows into ETFs

According to Odaily, the World Gold Council stated that as gold prices hit record highs 53 times in 2025, global investors have injected unprecedented funds into gold ETFs. North American funds contributed the majority of global inflows in 2025. Meanwhile, gold holdings in Asia nearly doubled, and Europe also showed significant demand. The surge in global investor enthusiasm is mainly driven by the following factors: ① Gold's appeal as a safe-haven asset has increased amid intensifying global trade disputes, escalating geopolitical tensions, and financial market volatility; ② The continuous surge in gold prices has attracted trend-following capital; ③ The decline in US Treasury yields and the weakening of the US dollar.
