ETF Inflows Drive Gold Demand to Highest First-Half Levels Since 2020

In the first half of 2025, gold prices soared 26% to record highs, yet investors continued to buy in, especially through ETFs. The World Gold Council’s Q2 Gold Demand Trends report shows total global investment demand jumped 78% year-on-year, marking the strongest half-year since 2020. ETF inflows in Australia and worldwide offset earlier 2024 outflows, driven by fears of economic slowdown, geopolitical tensions, and currency debasement. Central banks continued large-scale purchases, adding 166 tonnes in Q2, while bar and coin buying rose 11%, led by Chinese and Indian investors. Jewellery demand, however, fell sharply. Analysts say ongoing market volatility and unpredictable macroeconomic conditions could keep gold prices supported in the second half of 2025.

What the Silver-to-CPI Ratio Reveals That Spot Price Hides

Silver hit a nominal all-time high of $121.64 in January 2026 — yet the silver-to-CPI ratio tells a different story. Adjusted for inflation, silver remains well below its 1980 peak and barely above its 2011 cycle high. Here’s what the ratio reveals that spot price alone never can.

Silver Holds Near $80 as Iran Ceasefire Revives Rate-Cut Bets

Silver surged more than 5% Tuesday and is holding near $80 — the highest level since March. The move isn’t simple. When the US and Israel launched their air campaign against Iran, gold fell 10% instead of rising. The reason was oil, the Strait of Hormuz, and an inflation shock that killed rate-cut expectations. The Iran ceasefire is now reversing all three dynamics at once — and silver is responding through both its monetary and industrial demand channels. Here’s the mechanism, the data, and the one date every precious metals investor should have on their radar.

Dow to Gold Ratio: 100 Years of History Decoded

Gold has gained roughly 15.6% since January 1, 2026, while the Dow is up just 2.7% over the same stretch. That gap doesn’t register in most financial headlines — but the Dow to gold ratio captures it with precision. Right now, the ratio reads approximately 10: it takes around 10 ounces of gold to match one unit of the Dow index. At the dot-com peak in 1999, it took 43. What does that shift tell us, and where does it go from here?

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.
