“Safe port” in the crisis
German stock exchange: gold treasure for investors increased
In uncertain times, investors are increasingly accessing precious metal. 7.3 tons are more gold in the vaults of the German stock exchange than at the beginning of the year. However, the stock is far from the record high.
Investors have increasingly invested in gold in the turbulent first half -year. The German stock exchange kept 173.8 tons of the precious metal in its safe in Frankfurt on June 30th. This increased by 7.3 tons for those who draw the Xetra Gold bond, as the company announced. The German stock exchange deposits a gram of gold for each share certificate.
Despite the recent increase, the stock is far from the record high: at the end of the first half of 2022, a good 242.5 tons of gold stored in the Serors of the German Stock Exchange. Since then, the stocks of the precious metal, which the company recorded every six months, have become steadily smaller – including because investors used the increased gold price in the meantime to cash in.
Gold price has increased significantly
The most recent high -altitude flight of the gold price continued to increase the value of the gold treasure at the German stock exchange: in the first half of 2025 there was a plus of a good 16 percent to 15.6 billion euros.
Among other things, the erratic trade policy of US President Donald Trump, including higher tariffs, repeatedly stirs up uncertainty on the markets and drives investors to the gold-based investment port. At the end of April, the gold price had reached a record high at $ 3,500 per troy ounce (31.1 grams).
For investors, gold securities are an alternative to bars and coins. The Stuttgart Stock Exchange also offers such a security (“EUWax Gold”). There are neither interest nor dividends for gold, but many asset managers recommend the precious metal as an admixture in the depot and as protection against crises. According to the German stock exchange, Xetra-Gold is the leading gold value paper with physical deposits in the euro area.
The bars will be delivered to your home on request
Xetra-Gold investors can also have their share of the precious metal sent home: According to the German stock exchange, 1,934 times have been used since the introduction of the securities in 2007. In total, around 8.2 tons of gold were delivered. In the first six months of the current year, a total of 122 kilograms of gold were delivered at 61 deliveries.
