Gold Set For $3.3 Billion In Index Fund Buying In January As Rebalancing Flips In Its Favour

Société Générale estimates that commodity index rebalancing in January 2027 could generate approximately $3.3 billion in net gold futures purchases and $2.5 billion in silver buying. The adjustments will increase precious metals’ weightings in major commodity indexes as funds rebalance their portfolios following gold and silver’s recent declines. While the expected inflows could provide short-term support for prices, higher interest rates and a stronger U.S. dollar remain potential obstacles to a sustained recovery.
