Gold ETFs Climb Following Downward Revision to US GDP
By Market News Video Staff, Friday, August 27, 11:20 AM ET
On Friday, the Commerce Department announced that the US GDP for the 2nd quarter had been revised lower to a growth rate of just 1.6%. The Department had previously estimated the growth rate to be 2.4%, but this was just the initial reading before key economic data was released in July. While the 1.6% rate did beat estimates of 1.3% held by economists, gold bugs sent the yellow metal higher in tandem with stocks. On the day, spot gold prices hit a high of $1,243/oz and propelled gold ETFs higher.
The SPDR Gold ETF (AMEX:GLD) were higher by 0.3%, the Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF (AMEX:GDX) climbed more than 1% and the Market Vectors Junior Gold Miners ETF (AMEX:GDXJ) gained 1.7%.
