Gold prices fell to a two-week low on May 1, 2025, hovering near $3,213 per ounce. The decline is attributed to weaker demand and a stronger dollar, as reported by the World Gold Council and confirmed by market data.

Gold Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) witnessed a remarkable inflow of 226.5 metric tons worth $21.1 billion in the first quarter—the largest in three years, according to the World Gold Council. This significant investment underscores a notable shift in the gold market.
