Gold Prices Plunge 25% Amidst Investor ETF Influx
Current overview (not historical)
Gold prices have crashed approximately 25% from recent highs, briefly dipping to $3,975 per ounce, yet investors continue to pour funds into gold-backed exchange-traded funds (ETFs). ETF holdings surged to nearly 10.2 million ounces, the highest level since mid-2022, driven by a net inflow of $31 billion in Q3 2024. Despite this sustained buying pressure, the GLD fund experienced a five-day outflow of $23 billion, and the sector saw its first weekly outflow in recent memory, highlighting a divergence between physical demand and short-term market dynamics.

- BeInCryptoRelated fact: single sourceGold price drops 25% since US-Iran war begins as investors flock to ETFs despite yields
Report first recorded Oct 27, 09:24
Gold has lost nearly a quarter of its value since the US-Iran war began, briefly falling to $3,975 an ounce on Friday. Despite the price decline, gold ETF holdings have surged to nearly 102 million troy ounces, their highest level since mid-2022, driven by record $31 billion in inflows in Q3 and 14 consecutive weeks of net inflows into physical-gold backed ETFs. However, weekly outflows resumed in the week of October 19, and the largest US fund GLD lost $2.3 billion over five days. Money managers have reduced bullish futures positions to a net 104,206 contracts, while higher US interest rates and inflation fears continue to pressure gold's appeal as a non-yielding asset.
