Surge in Individual Investment in Gold Spot ETFs

Recently, there has been a significant inflow of individual investor funds into domestic gold spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs). The 'ACE KRX 금현물' and 'TIGER KRX 금현물' ETFs have seen net buying of 352.7 billion KRW and 114.2 billion KRW, respectively, in the past month, underscoring growing investor interest. Gold prices have surged over 50% this year, surpassing $4,000 per ounce, with projections indicating a potential rise to $5,000 next year. The increase in investment in gold ETFs is anticipated to be a primary driving force behind next year's potential gold price escalation.
Gold is increasingly recognized as a safe portfolio asset amid economic uncertainty, a trend mirrored by the growing influx of funds into precious metal ETFs in the global market as well. As gold becomes a standout asset for its perceived stability in uncertain economic conditions, investors are finding gold ETFs more attractive for portfolio diversification. This phenomenon is further boosting expectations for gold price increases and signaling a positive outlook for the precious metals market.
