Gold ETFs Poised For Liftoff: Can The Fed's Rate Cut Propel Prices To New Heights?
Portfolio Pulse from Surbhi Jain
Gold ETFs, including SPDR Gold Trust (GLD) and iShares Gold Trust (IAU), are gaining momentum as the U.S. Federal Reserve considers an aggressive rate cut. The weakening dollar and geopolitical tensions are driving demand for gold as a safe haven. Gold miner ETFs like VanEck Gold Miners ETF (GDX) and VanEck Junior Gold Miners ETF (GDXJ) are also seeing significant gains. However, a smaller-than-expected rate cut or strong economic data could temper gold's rally.
