Global gold demand flat at 1,269 tonnes in June quarter, says WGC

Global gold demand remained flat year-on-year at 1,269 tonnes in the April-June quarter, according to a report by the World Gold Council (WGC). Prices of the precious metal moderated from the record highs touched earlier this year, the Council said in its report. The total demand for the yellow metal was at 1,268.6 tonnes during the corresponding quarter of 2025, said the WGC in its 'Q2 2026 Gold Demand Trends' report. The demand in the first half of the year rose 2 per cent year-on-year to an estimated 2,522 tonnes, worth USD 380 billion. Investment in gold ETFs (exchange-traded funds), bars and coins dropped to 262 tonnes in the second quarter as lower gold prices led to moderation in strong investment momentum witnessed earlier in the year. According to the WGC, the decline was primarily driven by 45 tonnes of outflows from gold-backed ETFs during the April-June period, although first-half ETF demand remained modestly positive at 18 tonnes.

India's gold demand falls 6% in April-June on weak demand, higher duty: WGC

India's gold demand fell 6 per cent year-on-year to 131.4 tonnes in the April-June quarter, weighed down by seasonally subdued sales, higher Customs duty and Prime Minister Narendra Modi's appeal to reduce purchases of the precious metal, the World Gold Council said in a report. The total demand was at 139.7 tonnes during the corresponding period last year, according to WGC's 'Q2 2026 Gold Demand Trends' report. "However, it's been a record in terms of the value of demand. So, consumption was Rs 1,98,100 crores, compared with Rs 1,32,500 crores in the same period in 2025, which is up by 50 per cent compared to the second quarter of 2025, highlighting that consumers continue to prioritise gold even in a high-price environment," WGC Regional CEO, India, Sachin Jain told PTI. Going forward, for the year, WGC estimated the demand to stay between 650 and 750 tonnes. "We still see demand in the range of 650 to 750 tonnes for this year. However, given the current geopolitical landscape, .
