Key Headlines Impacting SPDR Gold MiniShares Trust

• Positive Sentiment: Longer term, some fund managers remain bullish on gold, arguing that elevated government debt, currency depreciation and geopolitical instability could eventually drive gold toward substantially higher levels. War in Iran, higher energy prices are only delaying gold’s rally to $5,000
• Positive Sentiment: Renewed retail demand and record sales of precious metals at the Royal Mint, along with elevated ETF holdings, suggest underlying investor interest in gold remains resilient despite near-term volatility. Royal Mint sees record silver and platinum sales

• Negative Sentiment: Renewed tensions around Iran and the Strait of Hormuz pushed crude oil higher, reviving inflation concerns and expectations that the Federal Reserve may keep monetary policy restrictive or tighten further. Precious metals tumble as Hormuz tensions intensify
• Negative Sentiment: Better-than-expected U.S. jobless claims reinforced the view that the labor market can withstand higher rates, adding pressure to non-yielding assets such as gold and GLDM. Gold prices under pressure as jobless claims fall
• Negative Sentiment: Meta’s increased artificial-intelligence spending contributed to a broader technology-led market selloff and intensified liquidation across precious metals, while continuing Russian gold sales added another source of supply. Gold dives as Meta boosts AI spending
