June 2025 gold market: Buy-the-dip as ETF inflows resume

Bullish

Dip-buying and resumed ETF inflows kept the uptrend intact.

Gold stabilised and turned higher again in June as investors treated the May pullback as a buying opportunity. ETF inflows resumed, the long-term outlook stayed constructive, and expectations of future Fed rate cuts underpinned sentiment. A flare-up of Middle East tensions added a safe-haven bid.
