SPDR Gold Trust bullion holdings rise 4.5 tonnes
LONDON, Sept 19 |
LONDON, Sept 19 (Reuters) - The world's largest bullion-backed exchange-traded fund, New York's SPDR Gold Trust (GLD), said its gold holdings increased by 4.6 tonnes or around half a percent on Sept. 18.
The trust, which issues securities backed by gold, now holds 655.1 tonnes of bullion.
Its holdings have risen nearly 7 percent since Lehman Brothers' banktuptcy protection filing on Monday precipitated a flight to "safe haven" assets among investors.
