Gold Price Hits Record Highs 53 Times in 2025, ETFs See Unprecedented Inflows

Odaily News According to the World Gold Council, as the gold price hit record highs 53 times in 2025, global investors poured unprecedented funds into gold ETFs. North American funds contributed the majority of the global inflows in 2025. Meanwhile, gold holdings in the Asian region nearly doubled, and Europe also showed significant demand. The heightened enthusiasm among global investors is primarily driven by the following factors: ① Enhanced attractiveness of gold as a safe-haven asset against the backdrop of escalating global trade disputes, rising geopolitical tensions, and financial market volatility; ② The sustained surge in gold prices has attracted attention from trend-following capital; ③ A decline in US Treasury yields and a weakening US dollar.
