Global gold demand rises 3% on stronger investment flows, says WGC

Global gold demand increased 3 per cent year-on-year to 1,249 tonnes during the April-June quarter of the current year, amid a high price environment, World Gold Council (WGC) said in a report on Thursday. Strong gold investment flows largely fuelled quarterly growth, as an increasingly unpredictable geopolitical environment and price momentum sustained demand, according to WGC's Q2 2025 Gold Demand Trends report. "Gold ETF investment remained a key driver of total demand, with inflows of 170 tonnes over the quarter, compared with small outflows in Q2 2024. "Asian-listed funds were major contributors at 70 tonnes, keeping pace with US flows. Combined with record inflows in the first quarter, global gold ETF demand reached 397 tonnes, the highest first-half total since 2020," the report added. Meanwhile, the total bar and coin investment also increased 11 per cent year-on-year, adding 307 tonnes. Chinese investors led the way with a 44 per cent year-on-year increase to 115 tonnes,
