While stock market investors have been chasing the market rally this year, central banks and hedge funds have been quietly buying up Gold over the last half a century. Major hedge funds including Bridge Water Associates founded by Billionaire Investor Ray Dalio have increased it's holdings in SPDR Gold Trust in the second half of 2018.
The long term trend in Gold remains in tact and SPDR Gold Trust remains above its 50-Day and 200-Day MA. The feds recent comments and disappointment to the markets on a 25bp rate cut show a growing trust in the metals value going forward.
