May 7 (Reuters) - Holdings of the largest gold-backed exchange-traded-fund (ETF), New York's SPDR Gold Trust, rose 0.44
percent on Tuesday from Monday, while the largest silver-backed ETF, New York's iShares Silver Trust, remained unchanged

creating a product they say is free from counterparty risk.
