Gold ETF inflows jump 71% in Sept despite falling gold prices

Gold ETFs saw record monthly net inflows of ₹4,451 crore in September 2026, up 71% from ₹2,597 crore in August, according to AMFI data. Investors turned to gold amid geopolitical uncertainty and inflation concerns, even as prices corrected during the month. Investors may be buying the dip or betting on further price gains rather than simply diversifying their portfolios.
