Gold ETFs: US$31 billion inflow despite price decline

World Gold brief based on reporting byShanghai Metals Market
Brief

Reported by Shanghai Metals Market: “Gold ETFs: US$31 billion inflow despite price decline”. Gold settled at $4,216 an ounce on October 9, 2026 — $135.56 per gram, +1.43% on the day. The headline carries a figure: $31 billion — 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 +1.43%, so the headline and the close diverge. The usual reason: an intraday move, a different currency, or a different horizon.
