◆ Global gold ETF holdings reach all time record highs, increasing by 13.4% so far in 2019 on hedging and safe haven demand
◆ Global gold ETFs, ETCs and similar products had US$3.9bn of net inflows across all regions, increasing their collective gold holdings by 75.2 tonnes(t) to 2,808t, the highest levels of all time in September
◆ Gold ETF holdings have surpassed late 2012 levels, at which time the gold price was near US$1,700/oz, 18% higher than current levels.
◆ There has been a surge in demand in Europe and the gold-backed ETF landscape is vastly different than in 2012 when two-thirds of global holdings were concentrated in North America. Today, European-listed gold ETF funds make up 44% of global holdings (U.S. at 52% and the remainder coming from funds listed in Asia and other regions.)
