European gold ETF capital inflows for the fourth month in a row, with a net inflow of $1.8 billion in October. The UK is still the main force, and gold ETFs listed in Germany, Switzerland, and France are also receiving net capital inflows. Notably, the region has had 18 consecutive weeks of net capital inflows. This trend continued despite weakening gold prices, rising yields across Europe, and changes in market expectations for the local central bank's subsequent policies. This shows that the market's allocation of gold ETFs is increasingly biased towards a strategic layout, reflecting the continuing political and financial uncertainty in Europe. Social unrest in France, the fragmentation of the political situation, and the difficulty of fiscal consolidation have suppressed investor confidence, dragged down the local stock market, and pushed up the sovereign risk premium. High yields in the UK, energy shocks, and continued narrowing of fiscal space have also raised concerns in the market. Meanwhile, Germany's economic momentum is weakening, and the ruling coalition is facing increasing political pressure. In this context, investors are increasingly allocating gold ETFs to diversify risk. In particular, the traditional safe-haven bond market itself is also under heavy pressure.
