I’ve had a few questions about the #gold ETF buying seen over the past month or so, namely how big is this compared to the 2008-2010 period.

I’ve pulled our database of ETFs and drawn up some charts.

First rolling 4 weekly.

And then rolling 13 weekly.

Finally, rolling yearly.

In all cases it shows that inflows have been strong, but not the strongest we& #39;ve recorded, although if this carries on for much longer that might change.
