(Repeats to widen distribution)
Jan 9 (Reuters) - Holdings of the largest gold-backed exchange-traded-fund (ETF), New York's SPDR Gold Trust, fell 1.05% on Wednesday from
Tuesday, while the largest silver-backed ETF, New York's iShares Silver Trust, remained unchanged during the same period.
Exchange-traded funds, the most widely recognized type of ETP, back each security issued with physical stocks of a given commodity, creating a
product they say is free from counterparty risk.
