Svmuu News: According to data released by the World Gold Council, global gold ETFs saw net inflows of $5.3 billion in February, marking the ninth consecutive month of inflows and the strongest start to a year on record. As rising gold prices boosted valuations, total global gold assets under management (AUM) climbed to a record high of $701 billion, with global holdings reaching 4,171 tons. North America and Asia were the primary drivers of inflows, while Europe saw outflows at the beginning of the month due to the sell-off in late January. Global average daily trading volume fell to $478 billion, but remained well above 2025 levels. (Jin Shi)
