While just a month ago we informed about over 3-year gold shopping records by ETFs, so now we report about the first monthly outflow of metal from November. According to data from the World Gold Council, despite the advantage of sellers in May, global gold flows in ETFs remained positive in 2025 with a result of 322 tons in the plus.
ETF funds giving the exposure to the price of gold sold 19.13 tons of net of the ore in May, according to the data of the World Gold Council. It was the first month of metal outflow from funds from November 2024. Over the next five months, the purchases of gold by ETF managers only grew, reaching the volume of 115.3 tons in April, the largest since March 2022. Thanks to this, despite the May outflows, this year's shopping is still 322.36 tonnes.
From the beginning of the year, the largest purchases concerned ETFs from North America (162.3 t.) And Asia (99 t). Europe recorded a influx of 55.6 tons, and funds from categorized regions as “others” bought 5.43 t. Meanwhile, in May only funds from Europe recorded flows of 1.6 tonnes. Funds from America sold nearly 15.6 tons of gold, and they got rid of 4.8 tonnes. Fund managers from other parts of the world sold less than 0.4 tons.
As you can see, North America has recorded the largest outflow of gold from ETF funds. “The temporary relief of the tariffs between the US and China was increased than expected, which led to the risk of investors to the risk, which led to a strong reflection of the action, but lower demand for gold, as a safe marina,” comment experts of the World Gold Council.
Bars, coins or maybe ETFs?
The largest Swiss Bank UBS recommends customers with 5 percent. your assets in gold. How to do it and above all, what to choose? Bars, coins, or maybe the option is the so -called Paper gold?
ETF (Exchange Traded Funds) or ETC (Exchange Traded Commodity) units are shares of funds reproducing gold prices listed on stock exchanges. They enable investing in gold without having to physically possess the ore. When more and more investors are buying units, the fund emits new ones to meet the demand. He protects them by buying additional physical gold when investors sell more units than buy, managers react, discontinuing them, selling out gold.
