Woofun AI reports that the World Gold Council expects gold ETF flows to stabilize in the second half of the year. North American gold ETFs recorded $5.5 billion in outflows during June, resulting in a net outflow of $7.7 billion for the first half of the year, marking the weakest performance since 2013. European gold ETFs saw $818 million in outflows in June, reducing their first-half total inflows to $3.2 billion. The Asia region experienced $2.3 billion in outflows in June, the largest single-month outflow on record, yet still achieved its strongest first-half performance with net inflows of $12 billion. The Council attributes recent investor allocation reductions to significant gold price pullbacks. Looking ahead, the "2026 Mid-Year Gold Outlook" suggests relatively stable gold performance in the second half, with persistent uncertainties in geopolitics, economic growth, and financial markets potentially sustaining demand for gold ETFs as a strategic safe-haven asset.
