Gold ETF Inflows Decline in July Amid Volatility; SIPs and Gold Prices Rise
Gold ETFs experienced a 55% decline in inflows in July 2026 due to profit-booking and price volatility after a prior rally, while net systematic investment plan (SIP) inflows reached a record ₹2 trillion in FY26 despite increased account closures. In August, gold prices surged 13%, marking one of the strongest monthly rallies in 25 years, driven by broad ETF buying and a weaker US dollar. Market watchers now focus on the Federal Reserve's upcoming rate decision amid shifting economic and geopolitical factors.
