Institutional Flow Evidence

Global gold ETFs took in US$10bn in September 2026, lifting holdings by 67 tonnes to a record 4,256 tonnes, and third-quarter inflows of US$31bn were a record quarter; North American funds added US$4bn in September and US$12bn in the quarter. AUM fell 7% month over month to US$574bn on the price decline - investors bought the drawdown rather than selling it.
