🌟 Global Gold Demand Hits Record High in Q3 2025

According to the latest Global Gold Demand Trends Report from the World Gold Council, global appetite for gold has never been stronger. By October 30, 2025, international gold prices had hit new highs 50 times this year — a clear sign of the metal’s renewed appeal amid shifting global markets.

In the third quarter alone, total gold demand — including over-the-counter trades — soared to 1,313 tons, valued at around $146 billion. This marks the highest single-quarter demand ever recorded.

Gold-backed ETFs also saw remarkable growth. For the third straight quarter, investors expanded their positions, adding 222 tons of physical gold worth about $26 billion. Altogether, during the first nine months of 2025, global gold ETF holdings have climbed by 619 tons, totaling an impressive $64 billion in value.

The sustained rise in demand highlights gold’s enduring status as a safe-haven asset, especially as investors navigate global economic uncertainty and market volatility.
