FYI: The party in gold exchange-traded funds is raging so hard that the Australian government is trying to crash it.
With holdings in gold-backed ETFs at the highest level since 2013, New York Stock Exchange Arca Inc. is seeking to list the Perth Mint Gold ETF Trust, according to a U.S. government filing. Gold Corp., a Western Australian state government-owned entity, will store the fund’s gold and facilitate transfers, including shipments, according to the filing. Oklahoma City-based Exchange Traded Concepts will be the administrative sponsor.
Regards,
Ted
