Market Focus08-05 21:59

On August 5, Gold Trust Ishares rose 3.04% in regular trading, trading at $79.045/share, with turnover of $75.7826 million.

On the news front, the US ADP private sector employment report showed July payrolls increased by only 44,000, nearly halved from the prior reading of 95,000 and significantly below market expectations. Following the data release, spot gold rapidly broke through the $4,200/ounce level, with intraday gains exceeding 3%, while the US Dollar Index had previously touched a seven-week low.

On the technical side, gold prices broke above a descending trendline and cleared key resistance levels. Combined with continued gold purchases by China's central bank and expectations of CTA net short covering, multiple bullish factors converged to drive broad strength across the precious metals sector, with US-listed gold mining stocks rallying collectively.

The Trust seeks to reflect the performance of gold prices before payment of expenses and liabilities. It is not actively managed and constitutes a simple and cost-effective means of making an investment similar to an investment in gold.
