Are Investors Still Bullish On The Gold ETFs?

“Gold set record highs for a second straight session on Wednesday as investors bought the precious metal due to fears the dollar may weaken further, bringing inflation.  Bullion has gained nearly 20 percent this year, helped by dollar weakness and inflation worries after central banks and governments across the globe poured billions of dollars into the financial system to revive growth,”  Frank Tang and Humeyra Pamuk Report From The Washington Post.

“Gold’s rally has boosted flows into exchange traded funds (ETF). The world’s largest gold-backed ETF, the SPDR Gold Trust (GLD), said its holdings stood at 1,100.514 tonnes as of October 6, up 0.2 percent or 2.441 tonnes from the previous business day for the third consecutive day of increase,”  Tang and Pamuk Report.

“But high prices should curb demand for physical gold, some analysts said, which could make it hard to sustain the rally. Renowned investor Jim Rogers, one of the biggest bulls on this decade’s commodities rally, is not so bullish on gold a day after the precious metal set a record high, although he does see further gains in the long term,” Tang and Pamuk Report.
