WGC: Global gold demand holds at 1,269 tonnes in Q2 2026

AI Market Summary
WGC data show Q2 2026 gold demand was flat at 1,269 tonnes, but H1 demand rose 2% YoY with a sharp 62% YoY jump in central-bank net buying (289 tonnes) and resilient bar/coin and OTC demand. ETF flows softened in Q2 but remained net positive for H1. The mix points to sustained official and Asian-led physical support, partially offset by weaker jewelry volumes.
