In April, gold inflows into global ETF funds showed an impressive increase of $11.2 billion, equivalent to 115.3 tons, according to data from the World Gold Council (WGC). Thus, the trend of increasing investments in gold has been maintained for the fifth month in a row. Against the backdrop of rising prices for this precious metal and continued inflows of funds, the total assets under management (AUM) of global ETFs focused on gold reached a new historical peak by the end of the month, amounting to $379 billion. The total volume of assets in the funds increased to 3,561 tons, which was the highest value since August 2022. Asia became the leader in terms of inflows in April, where 65% of the total net global volume was concentrated. At the same time, there was also significant interest in gold in North America, while flows turned negative in Europe. Other regions have shown positive but relatively modest dynamics in demand for this asset.
