Brief

Reported by The Globe and Mail: “The Best Gold ETF Is SPDR Gold Shares (GLD): Here's Why I'm Holding It in 2026”. Gold settled at $4,477 an ounce on September 4, 2026 — $143.93 per gram, -1.39% on the day.

Why it matters

ETF and fund flows indicate whether investment capital is entering gold. Strong inflows may reinforce price momentum, while outflows can weigh on the market despite stable physical demand. Thirty sessions later gold traded at $4,160 an ounce, -7.07% versus the date of the report. That is an observation about the market, not a consequence of one headline.
