Gold ETF Inflows Slow and Margin Trading Positions Decline in October
In October, gold exchange-traded fund (ETF) inflows slowed to about ₹3,300 crore, down from ₹4,450 crore in September, as most asset management companies suspended subscriptions to gold fund of funds following Sebi's directive amid concerns over rising gold imports and rupee pressure. Meanwhile, margin trading facility (MTF) positions declined 4.65% to ₹1.44 trillion, ending five months of growth, indicating a moderation in leveraged investing. Key stocks with large MTF positions included HDFC Bank, Reliance Industries, and BSE.
