Amundi Physical Metals expands gold-backed ETC offerings

The Amundi Physical Gold ETC is designed to track the performance of gold prices, offering an alternative to direct investment in the precious metal. The securities are backed by allocated gold stored in secure vaults, with each ETC security representing a specific entitlement to gold, which diminishes slightly each day to cover operational expenses at an annual rate of 0.12%.

Investors should note that the ETC securities are not the equivalent of investing in gold directly, as they are financial instruments subject to market fluctuations and other risks inherent to securities trading.

    Gold prices fell sharply by Rs 1,000 to Rs 98,400 per 10 grams in the national capital on Monday, amid a weak global trend and optimism surrounding a possible US-China trade agreement, according to media reports citing the All India Sarafa Association.

    “Gold prices continued to decline as easing US-China trade tensions boosted investors’ risk appetite, reducing demand for safe-haven assets like bullion while a stronger dollar added downward pressure,” said Chintan Mehta, Chief Executive Officer of Abans Financial Services, as quoted in media reports.

    “Rising geopolitical tensions could limit gold’s downside. As war risks escalate and new conflicts emerge, investors are likely to seek refuge in gold.”
