Global gold demand down 5% in 2023 on continuing ETF outflows: WGC Report

Global gold demand declined 5 per cent to 4,448.4 tonnes in 2023, compared to the previous year, mainly due to continuing Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) outflows, according to the World Gold Council (WGC) report. The overall global gold demand was 4,699 tonnes in 2022, according to WGC's Gold Demand Trends report 2023. According to the report, global gold ETFs saw a third consecutive annual outflow, losing 244.4 tonnes compared to 109.5 tonnes in 2022. Losses were most marked in Europe, where holdings fell by 180 tonnes - the worst annual performance since 2013. The pace of outflows slowed markedly into year-end, but October's hefty outflows dominated the fourth quarter (October-December), it added. Outflows from European funds have continued in the opening weeks of 2024, and North American-listed funds have resumed their decline after a two-month respite in November and December, the report said.

Inflow into Gold ETFs dips to Rs 175 cr in Sept after hitting 17-month high

The quantum of inflow into gold exchange-traded funds dropped to Rs 175 crore in September after hitting a 17-month high in the preceding month, owing to profit booking. Apart from the inflows, the asset base of Gold Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) also decreased in the period under review, as per the data from the Association of Mutual Funds in India (Amfi). "With a continued hike in interest rates in the US, inflation still higher than expectations, and the growth rate slowing down, the appeal of gold as a safe haven and hedge against inflation is expected to continue," Melvyn Santarita, analyst and manager of research at Morningstar Investment Adviser India, said. According to the data, gold-linked ETFs saw an inflow of Rs 175.3 crore last month as compared to Rs 1,028 crore in August. The inflow stood at Rs 456 crore in July. Prior to that, Gold ETFs saw an inflow to the tune of Rs 298 crore during the April-June period after three quarters of consecutive outflow. The category sa
