As we approach the end of 2025, the ETF market is witnessing something truly extraordinary. In our latest video insight, we took a deep dive into our platform’s data to highlight the massive volume and flow activity currently happening in the commodities sector—specifically within precious metals.
Here are the key takeaways from today’s market analysis.
A Record-Breaking Year for Precious Metals
The data doesn’t lie: we are in uncharted territory. While the markets have been active across the board, the appetite for precious metals like gold, silver, platinum, and palladium has reached unprecedented levels.
- Massive Inflows: Year-to-date, we’ve seen $49 billion flow into commodity precious metals. To put that in perspective, the previous record was $32 billion during the COVID-influenced markets of 2020.
- Gold is King: Gold accounts for the lion’s share of this growth, with $44 billion in inflows, followed by $3.6 billion in silver.
- Explosive AUM Growth: Assets Under Management (AUM) in this space have more than doubled since the beginning of the year, soaring to $300 billion.
Performance That Demands Attention
It’s not just about the money moving in; it’s about the returns driving that movement. The entire category is up an average of 77% year-to-date.
Silver, in particular, has been on an absolute tear—up 25% in the last month alone and a staggering 120% year-to-date. This combination of high performance and high volume signals a very specific and intense market appetite for these “safe haven” and industrial commodities.
