Gold ETFs Lose $8.9 Billion in June as Outflows Accelerate

Investors pulled $8.9 billion from gold exchange-traded funds in June, led by $5.5 billion of withdrawals from North American products. According to BeInCrypto, the retreat came as gold posted a fourth straight losing month, down 11.7%, amid a hawkish Federal Reserve and Middle East tensions. World Gold Council data showed gold ETF assets under management fell 13% to $526 billion and holdings dropped 74 tonnes to 4,047 tonnes. Global flows were still positive at $8 billion in the first half of 2026, with Asia adding $12 billion despite a $2.3 billion June outflow.
