On September 28, Gold Trust Ishares declined 3.03% overnight, trading at $78.26/share, with turnover of $3.1194 million.
On the news front, spot gold extended its selloff, falling over 2% intraday and breaking below the $4,200/oz level. According to CME data, the market priced in a 64.8% probability of a 25 basis-point Fed rate hike in October, reflecting a more hawkish shift in expectations. The prior pullback in precious metals had already priced in approximately 2.5 rate hikes through mid-next year, but renewed hawkish repricing added further downside pressure. Rising U.S. Treasury yields, a surging dollar index near three-month highs at 101.30, and elevated oil prices reinforcing sticky inflation concerns all combined to weigh on gold. The world's largest gold ETF also saw holdings decrease by 2.281 tonnes. Gold-related equities were broadly hit, with major miners declining between 3% and 9%.
