| Gold gets its shine back
Gold is back – not that it really went away. But news now comes from all corners that appetite for that traditional safe-haven, gold, particularly through the ETC route, is record-breaking. Read our piece with comments from The World Gold Council, which reported that the first quarter of 2020 was a record-breaking quarter, as gold ETF holdings and assets added USD23 billion in net inflows, the largest quarterly gain in history.
ETF providers did well too, with Invesco’s gold ETF going over USD1 billion in assets and The Royal Mint’s new launch of an ETF setting out with over USD200 million. Comment from WisdomTree’s Mobeen Tahir, Associate Director, Research, claims that now may be the time for gold to shine.
Other news saw Willis Owen’s Adrian Lowcock offering us five virtues to get through a crisis. His virtues include thinking long-term all the way through to switching off – something that we all need to do at times during this extraordinary period.
