Global Gold ETF Inflows Held Steady in June: World Gold Council

Combined, the North American and European funds added 43.8 tonnes during the second quarter of the current year.

SEATTLE (Scrap Monster): The inflows into global gold ETFs flattened out during the month of June this year. The inflows totalled 2.9 tonnes during the month. The global assets under management (AUM) stood at 3,624 tonnes and were valued at $206 billion, said the World Gold Council (WGC).

The positive gold ETF inflows were despite significant weakness in gold prices during the latter half of the month, on account of hawkish outlook by the US Fed. This indicates that investors were keen to take advantage of the fall in gold prices to gain long exposure into the asset.
