    Gold Market Commentary: Stick, twist or double down?

    Record monthly ETF inflows took gold to its 39th new high for the year, finishing the month at US$3,825/oz (+12%). Y-t-d gold is up 47%, marking the highest return in a calendar year since 1979. Political tension, strong options market activity, and currency weakness played a key role in gold’s performance last month. Looking forward, there are plenty of reasons for investors to look at gold and the price could see further uplift should equities experience a correction. Perhaps only a major liquidity squeeze could upend both gold and equities, but there are no clear signs of fractures in credit or banking sectors…yet.
