Inflation in gold ETFs increased by 86%
Mumbai, Ta. 17 August 2020, Monday
Inflation in gold ETFs in the country has increased by 6 per cent to Rs 31 crore in July as compared to June. Given the prevailing high price of gold, investors prefer to invest through ETFs rather than investing directly in gold.
In the first seven months of this year, the net inflow of gold ETFs stood at Rs 4 crore amid the Corona epidemic, according to figures from the Association of Mutual Funds in India.
According to the data, the net inflows in gold ETFs in June stood at Rs 3 crore. Gold ETFs' asset under management, which stood at Rs 104 crore at the end of June, rose 15 per cent to Rs 121 crore at the end of July.
February this year saw an inflow of Rs 15 crore. Gold prices are rising along with the weakness in the US dollar. As a result of trade tensions between the US and China and the economic impact of the Corona, global investors are choosing to invest in gold as a hedge. Gold is considered a safe haven investment.
Gold is emerging as one of the best assets in the current year. So far, more than 60 per cent compensation has been provided. Investors are investing some of their holdings in gold to hedge investments in other assets such as bonds and equities as the economic downturn has made them riskier.
