Central Banks Slow but Still Buy Heavily as Gold Demand Rises 3 %

In its Q2 2025 Gold Demand Trends report, the World Gold Council (WGC) says total gold demand, including over‑the‑counter trades, rose 3 % year‑on‑year to 1,249 tonnes amid geopolitical uncertainty.

Gold ETF inflows of 170 t in Q2 and 397 t in the first half were the strongest since 2020, while bar and coin demand grew 11 % to 307 t, led by a 44 % surge in Chinese investment and solid Indian buying.

Central banks added 166 t of gold—slower than previous quarters but still high, and jewellery demand fell 14 % due to high prices.

WGC analyst Louise Street notes that gold had already gained 26 % in H1 2025 and could trade in a narrow range unless macro‑economic conditions deteriorate.

Dollar vs Gold Relationship: Why They Often Move in Opposite Directions 

When the U.S. dollar weakens, gold prices typically rise — and vice versa. This inverse relationship between gold and the dollar is one of the most consistent patterns in global markets, driven by gold’s dollar-denominated pricing, competing safe-haven demand, and Federal Reserve interest rate policy. But the relationship isn’t absolute. Central bank gold buying, geopolitical risk, and shifting real yields can all disrupt the traditional correlation. Here’s what every investor needs to understand about the dollar vs gold relationship and what it means for your portfolio.

Samantha is wonderful. I was nervous about spending a chunk of money. I asked her to `hold my hand’ and walk me through making my purchase.  
She laughed and guided me through, step by step. She was so helpful in explaining everything...

Travis was amazing! I was having difficulty with a wire transfer of my life’s savings, and I was very worried that I might not be able to receive it all. My husband just passed away and I’ve been worried about these funds along with grieving for 8 months. As soon as I got connected with Travis, my concerns were immediately addressed and he put me at ease. The issue was resolved within days. He even called me back with updates to keep me in the loop about what was going on with the funds. I am so grateful for a customer representative like Travis. He really cares for his clients.

Sam was also very helpful! I called and was connected to Sam within 30 seconds. She helped me with a fee that was charged to my account. She had a great attitude and took care of the fee quickly.

    Outstanding quality and customer service. I first discovered Mike Maloney through his “Secrets of Money” video series. It was an excellent precious metals education. I was a financial advisor and it really helped me learn more about wealth protection. I used this knowledge to help protect my clients retirements. I purchase my precious metals through goldsilver.com. It is easy, fast and convenient. I also invested my IRA’s and utilize their excellent storage options. Bottom line, Mike and his team have earned my trust. I continue to invest in wealth protection and my own education. I give back and help others see the opportunities to invest in precious metals. Thank you.
