November 2025 gold market: Institutions broaden the bull market

Bullish

Broadening institutional participation strengthened the trend.

Gold kept rising in November as institutional investors joined more aggressively. The market broadened from largely retail- and central-bank-driven demand to include hedge funds, asset managers, and pension allocations — wider participation that strengthened and stabilised the bull market.
