The latest data from the World Gold Council shows that in April, the investment demand for gold continued to improve. The WGC reported that for the second consecutive month, there was an inflow of 15 tons worth $824 million in the ETF market. North America continues to lead the world in investment demand. Last month, North American funds received 15 tons worth $984 million. European funds received 0.7 tons worth $223 million across the Atlantic. As basic inflation remains high in Europe and there are problems in the banking sector, investors' interest in gold ETFs has been reduced due to their expectation of further interest rate hikes by local central banks. Asian funds received a modest inflow of 0.1 tons worth $49 million. One significant surprise noted in the April report was Turkey, as there was an inflow of one ton. The weakness of the currency, high inflation, and political uncertainty maintain Turkish investors' interest in gold ETFs. The WGC assumes that against the backdrop of recession fears, investment demand will continue, as recession implies pressure on stock markets. According to WGC analysts, as gold approaches historical highs, it simply lacks a catalyst.
