SPDR Gold Trust (GLD) $78.53 -5.74%
The SPDR Gold Fund (GLD) is taking a hit. Shares are down $4.68 to $78.63 and fell to $78 a share (lowest since September 17) after the precious metal tumbled $39 to $800 an ounce. Several factors conspiring to send gold lower: 1) after moving higher early, the euro has given up early gains and is trading lower for a second day against the buck (1.345). 2) crude oil is down 70 cents to $73.84 ahead of weekly inventory data due out a bit later this morning. 3) there is a modest flight from save haven investments this morning. For instance, while the benchmark ten-year Treasury is down 6/32nd, the CBOE Volatility Index (.VIX) is down 1.53 to 67.72.
