Gold ETF: With Each Push Higher, Volume Has Been Declining

David Rosenberg made some interesting comments on Gold on Wednesday:

Gold broke out to a new high yesterday of $1,084/oz (and continues to rally today). It did this despite the S&P 500 managing to tick up two points and despite the DXY index actually eking out an 8bps rise to 76.3. This is NOT just a U.S. dollar story - have a look at what bullion is doing in Euro terms. Very impressive. This is a broadly based breakout and that means a durable secular bull market.

Looking at the growth rates in fiat currency that central banks are creating to stimulate their economies and the amount of bullion that would be necessary to back up this massive global monetary infusion suggests that gold can at least double if not triple from here. If you missed the first 4x runup from the $250/oz lows a decade ago, don’t worry about it. It’s like worrying about how you would have missed the first half of the rally in the S&P 500 from 1982 to 1992 when the index was at 400 and still had 300% to go before finally peaking out and sputtering at the 1500+ highs eight years later. In other words, the cup is still half full - and still can be filled with gold eagle coins.

Rosie is BULLISH on the yellow metal.

What’s interesting about this chart is that with each push higher, the volume on the Gold ETF (GLD) has been declining.  Does that mean that there’s no new buyers entering? The recent push has not seen the same level of volume that the prior push higher saw.
