The weakness in the U.S. Dollar has driven the continued strength in gold. Today, the dollar was weak on reports that some leading oil trading countries are were developing a plan to abandon the dollar. In addition, Australia lifted interest rates in a surprise move making it the first major economy to raise rates following the global financial crisis.
Many have been gaining exposure to gold through ETF SPDR Gold Shares (NYSE: GLD) or through the miners as represented by Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF (NYSE: GDX), which seeks to replicate the price and yield performance of the NYSE Arca Gold Miners Index. Top holdings of the index include Barrick Gold (NYSE: ABX), Goldcorp (NYSE: GG), Newmont Mining (NYSE: NEM), Kinross Gold (NYSE: KGC), and Yamana Gold (NYSE: AUY). There is also a new gold ETF - ETFS Physical Swiss Gold Shares (NYSE: SGOL) - that traders are starting to use.
