According to the recent post uploaded by the Kobeissi letter, gold ETFs are rising at an explosive rate. Global gold ETFs have risen by 27+ tonnes on Friday, marking a new milestone in work. Due to this, gold ETFs have also witnessed a sharp spike, increasing 0.9% in a single day since 2022.

“Gold demand continues to surge: Global gold ETF holdings rose by +27 tonnes on Friday, the biggest daily increase since January 2022. This is DOUBLE the daily average seen so far this year. As a result, gold-backed ETFs increased 0.9%, the largest single-day percentage gain since 2022. Gold prices are now on track for their 6th consecutive weekly gain, the longest streak since February. Meanwhile, daily options volume of the largest silver ETF, $SLV, spiked to 1.2 million shares on Friday, the highest since April 2024. Precious metals are making history.”

With recent projections of the US dollar continuing to weaken due to Trump tariffs and new economic policies, gold is now becoming a safe-haven asset to explore at the moment.

Global banks around the world are rapidly exploring gold. This development shows gold is now becoming the fastest reserve asset to captivate global banks and markets, as the US dollar continues to decline. The USD is weakening due to loose US economic policies and the rising US debt metrics, and Trump’s tariffs, all of which have added intense pressure on the USD to maneuver in due time.

3. Volatile Fed Stance

This development is again adding more pressure on the dollar, pushing investors to explore gold and gold ETFs at a rapid pace.
