$GLD SG(GSD.SG)

Post 4 Ep. 24

Context: What interests me about gold today is the changing relationship between government bonds and safe-haven demand. Traditionally, rising bond yields have been negative for gold. But when those yields rise because investors are increasingly concerned about government debt, fiscal sustainability and monetary credibility, the picture becomes much more complicated.

My trade: I continue to view my GLD SG position as exposure to that broader monetary uncertainty. The recent pullback despite strong global gold ETF inflows reminds me that short-term price action and longer-term investment demand don’t always move together. Rather than chasing every rally or reacting to every correction, I prefer maintaining a measured allocation while watching how these macro forces develop.

Takeaway: Gold’s appeal may increasingly extend beyond inflation protection or falling interest rates. When confidence in traditional safe-haven assets begins to weaken, an asset with no issuer and no sovereign credit risk becomes particularly interesting. Sometimes what gold doesn’t depend on is precisely what makes it valuable.
