World Gold Council: North American gold ETFs recorded $5.5bn of outflows in June, leaving H1 net outflows of $7.7bn — the weakest H1 since 2013. European ETFs saw $818m of outflows in June, cutting H1 net inflows to $3.2bn. Asia posted a record single-month outflow of $2.3bn in June but still led H1 inflows with $12.0bn. The June price pullback was the main driver of reduced ETF allocations. The Council says regional gold ETF flows are likely to stabilize in H2.
