Gold ETF Flows Turn Negative in May After Strong Inflows
Gold ETF inflows flipped modestly negative in May, reflecting a range-bound price and a sharp deceleration from previous months, per the World Gold Council.
Gold exchange-traded fund (ETF) flows turned modestly negative in May, according to the World Gold Council, breaking a streak of strong inflows seen earlier in the year.
The shift comes as gold prices traded in a relatively narrow range during the month, dampening investor appetite. The Council characterised the change as a move "from a flood to a …" (full quote not available).
The negative flow, though mild in magnitude, marks a clear change in trend after the robust buying observed in the first four months of 2025. It underscores how a stagnant gold price can quickly alter ETF demand dynamics.
