Gold Demand Driven By Investment And Asian Buying
The World Gold Council (WGC) expects investment demand to remain strong for gold through the second half of 2026, driven by over-the-counter activity and Asian buying.
This growth in demand is expected to offset more rate-sensitive exchange-traded fund (ETF) flows in Western markets.
The WGC notes that ETF flows in North America and Europe will remain sensitive to real yields, monetary policy expectations, and the US dollar.
