Gold EFTs rise

ByVictoria

The inflow into physically backed gold exchange-traded funds in April was the largest since March, 2022, with China-listed funds leading the move due to the country’s trade war with the U.S., data from the World Gold Council showed on Thursday.

Gold ETFs saw an inflow of 115.3 metric tons worth $11.2 billion last month, the largest amount since March 2022, when global markets were grappling with the immediate consequences of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

This move raised Gold ETFs’ total holdings by 3.3% to 3,560.8 tons by the end of April

    AngloGold Ashanti (AU.N), is boosting payouts to investors, it said on Wednesday, after its profit surged to $954 million last year from a loss of $46 million in the prior year, buoyed by the precious metal’s rally to record highs.

    Shares in the company however fell as much as 7.4% in early trading in New York.

    CEO Alberto Calderon said the gold price rally had given AngloGold the strongest balance sheet position in more than a decade, and it is “able to pass on those benefits to shareholders in a more generous dividend policy”.

    Gold prices with latest tariff concerns

    Gold prices experienced a modest uptick on Monday, rising 0.1 percent to $3,040.57 per ounce. Spot gold rose 0.1 percent to $3,040.57 an ounce as of 7:39 a.m. ET, rebounding after dipping to a session low of $2,971.09 earlier, when some investors sold off bullion to offset losses elsewhere, Reutersreported.

    The imposition of the tariffs has intensified fears of a global recession. Investors are increasingly seeking safe-haven assets like gold to hedge against potential economic downturns. However, the recent sell-off in gold suggests that investors may be liquidating positions to cover losses in other markets, reflecting concerns over the widespread impact of a trade war.

    “Once the dust settles, the rising recession risks, a weaker dollar, lower real yields and bigger rate cut expectations will all play their part in supporting a rebound….

    “Gold’s correction remains a relatively shallow one with key support levels holding.” said Ole Hansen, head of commodity strategy at Saxo Bank

    Over a week low on Gold

    Gold touched a more than one-week low on Thursday after a U.S. federal court blocked President Donald Trump’s “reciprocal tariffs”, dampening the metal’s safe-haven allure, while a robust dollar further pressured prices of the precious metal.

    Spot gold was down 0.5% at $3,273.37 an ounce, as of 0431 GMT, after hitting its lowest since May 20.

    But the gold market is still bullish as “longer term outlook suggests a weaker dollar and there’s still likely to be some inflationary pressures near term,” Frappell said.

    Spot silver rose 0.6% to $33.19 an ounce, platinum was up 0.6% to $1,080.90 and palladium edged 1.3% higher to $974.69.
