Global investors rotated back into gold ETFs in April, recording $6.6 billion in inflows, according to a report by the World Gold Council. This rebound followed notable outflows in March, with all regions registering positive flows.

India marked its 11th consecutive month of inflows with $297 million. North America also reversed course with $1 billion in inflows.
