Why is gold up in today’s gold price news?

A softer US dollar, steady real yields, and firm central bank demand support prices. Liquidity is improving after holidays, which helps bids hold. Geopolitics and upcoming US data also keep safe haven interest alive. Together, these drivers explain the positive tone in current gold price news.

How do GLD ETF flows influence the market?

When GLD sees creations, market makers buy bullion to back new shares, which can add to demand. Redemptions do the opposite. Late December saw strong creations, followed by a small pullback. Watching GLD ETF flows helps gauge if institutions are adding exposure on dips in gold price news.

Should German investors hedge USD risk in GLD?

GLD is priced in USD, so euro moves affect local returns. If you expect a stronger euro, a partial currency hedge can smooth outcomes. If you are neutral or expect a softer euro, an unhedged position may benefit. Decide based on your time horizon, risk tolerance, and gold price news catalysts.

Are gold miners better than bullion for 2026?

Miners can outperform when costs are stable and prices rise, but they add operational and equity risk. Bullion offers cleaner exposure to the metal. A barbell can work: keep bullion as the core and add select miners after research. Watch earnings quality, costs, and leverage alongside gold price news.
