A concise look at bullion flows, collector demand and certification trends.

Bullion flows

Q2 saw sustained physical demand from central banks, particularly in Asia and the Middle East. Retail demand in Europe remained selective, weighted toward smaller formats and certified coins.

ETF flows were mixed — early-quarter outflows reversed by June as rate expectations softened. Net positioning at quarter-end was modestly positive.

Collector demand
