Brief

Reported by Moomoo: “Global gold ETFs attracted $18 billion in inflows in August, with Goldman Sachs forecasting that gold prices will rise to $4,900 by the end of 2026.”. Gold settled at $4,394 an ounce on September 8, 2026 — $141.27 per gram, -0.81% on the day. The headline carries a figure: $18 billion, $4,900 — quoted as published, not independently verified.

Why it matters

ETF and fund flows indicate whether investment capital is entering gold. Strong inflows may reinforce price momentum, while outflows can weigh on the market despite stable physical demand. The COMEX settlement that session moved -0.81%, so the headline and the close diverge. The usual reason: an intraday move, a different currency, or a different horizon.
