In 2025, gold prices hit a new record 53 times, with ETFs pouring in unprecedented funds

Odaily Planet Daily reported that the World Gold Council stated that with gold prices hitting 53 new records in 2025, global investors have injected unprecedented funds into gold ETFs. North American funds contributed the majority of the global capital inflow 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 In the context of escalating global trade disputes, rising geopolitical tensions, and financial market volatility, gold’s appeal as a safe-haven asset has increased; ② The continuous surge in gold prices has attracted trend-following capital; ③ U.S. Treasury yields have fallen back and the dollar has weakened.
