World’s Top Gold ETF Sees Holdings Surge in Bullish Demand Sign

Gold just got a very bullish sign from investors who are returning to the precious metal in a big way.
SPDR Gold Shares, the largest bullion-backed exchange-traded fund, on Friday recorded its biggest net inflow in dollar terms since listing in 2004 -- worth $1.63 billion. Changes in ETF holdings are monitored as a gauge of investor interest in longer-term bets on gold. Holdings slumped in 2021, a lackluster year for gold prices.
The jump comes before this week’s pivotal Federal Reserve meeting, which economists expect will signal a March start for rate hikes. Even as the Fed gets ready to tighten, which could damp the appeal of non-interest bearing bullion, demand for the haven is getting support from the drop in equities, U.S.-Russia tensions over Ukraine, and the plunge in Bitcoin.
“The recent surge in market volatility, the rise in geopolitical tensions and the slump in crypto prices most likely increased the appeal of gold as safe haven,” said Robin Tsui, Asia Pacific gold strategist, Global SPDR Business at State Street Global Advisors, the marketing agent for SPDR Gold Shares.
In tonnage terms, Friday’s net inflow was 27.6 tons.
