Gold ETF Inflows Drop 40% in July to ₹1,256 Crore, Still Maintain Strong Yearly Trend

In July 2025, Gold Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) saw net inflows of ₹1,256 crore, down 40% from June’s ₹2,081 crore, according to AMFI data. Despite this drop, it marked the third month in a row of positive inflows, showing continued investor trust in gold.

Why Investors Still Choose Gold

Gold ETFs are funds traded on stock exchanges that follow the price of physical gold. They let investors gain exposure to gold without physically owning or storing it. These ETFs combine the liquidity of shares with the stability of gold, making them a preferred option for diversification and protection against inflation or market swings.

Despite slower inflows, gold is still supported by central bank buying and serves as a tactical hedge ahead of major economic and policy changes.

Strong Year-to-Date Growth

From January to July 2025, Gold ETFs have attracted ₹9,277 crore in inflows, underlining their role in wealth preservation and risk management in uncertain times.

Growing Demand for Precious Metals and Investment Products

Conclusion

Even with a sharp monthly slowdown, Gold ETFs remain a key part of investors’ strategies for hedging risks and preserving wealth in volatile markets.
