The extent to which Chinese and Indian buyers have been priced out of the market has been compensated for by physical ETF demand, which takes total holdings to nearly record levels. According to figures compiled by the World Gold Council, in August they increased by 122.3 tonnes, taking net demand over the last three months to 587 tonnes, an annualised rate of 2,348 tonnes.
