Investors poured a combined $617 million into the two largest U.S.-listed gold exchange-traded funds during Monday’s sell-off, which was sparked by a series of negative tech stories led by Facebook’s data controversy.
The threat of a trade war and the escalating Russia probe further spurred haven buying, according to Daniel Hynes, commodities analyst at Australia & New Zealand Banking Group Ltd.
Investors have accumulated the biggest holdings in gold-backed funds in almost five years, even as the Federal Reserve gears up to raise interest rates on Wednesday.
