New York
THE last time the SPDR Gold Shares exchange-traded fund (ETF) received an inflow was the day after Donald Trump won the US presidential election in November.
The fund, which goes by the symbol GLD and is far and away the world's largest commodity ETF with more than US$31 billion in assets, has seen nearly US$5.7 billion in outflows since receiving a net inflow of US$220 million on Nov 9.
