Record Inflows into Gold ETFs: In September 2025, gold-backed ETFs saw over $5 billion in inflows, the largest monthly total ever, with SPDR Gold Shares leading at $2.67 billion. Year-to-date, SPDR's GLD has attracted $13.56 billion, on track to surpass its 2020 record.
Central Banks Increasing Gold Holdings: Global central banks have significantly increased their gold purchases, now holding more gold than U.S. Treasuries, reflecting concerns about U.S. fiscal sustainability. Total gold purchases rose 45% over the summer, indicating strong institutional demand.
Positive Outlook for Gold Prices: Analysts predict gold could reach $4,000 per ounce by 2026, driven by persistent inflation and potential Federal Reserve rate cuts. Historical trends show gold performs well in similar economic conditions.
Shifts in Monetary System Favoring Gold: Structural changes in the global monetary system, including the rise of cryptocurrencies and skepticism towards fiat currencies, are enhancing gold's appeal as a long-term hedge against economic uncertainty.
