Bitcoin Trades Flat; Ethereum, Dogecoin Spike: Market Looking 'Absolutely Magnificent' For Crypto Bull Run, Says Analyst

Intel Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) has been downgraded by Fitch Ratings, which cited growing pressure from rivals Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) and Qualcomm Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QCOM#NASDAQ">QCOM</a>) and the company's ongoing struggle to maintain <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/07/46239376/nvidia-intel-broadcom-micron-amd-and-other-chipmakers-stand-to-benefit-as-trumps-tax-bill-increases-incentives-to-make-semiconductors-in-us">demand for its semiconductor products</a>.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Fitch Cuts Intel's Credit Rating To BBB With Negative Outlook</h2>
Fitch downgraded Intel's long-term credit rating one notch from BBB+ to BBB on Monday and assigned a negative outlook, placing the chipmaker just two notches above junk status, reported Reuters.
The agency said Intel's "credit metrics remain weak" and highlighted it needs stronger end-market demand, successful product ramps, and debt reduction over the next 12 to 14 months to regain its former rating.
Fitch analysts referred to the intense competition from AMD, Qualcomm, Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>) and NXP Semiconductors (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NXPI#NASDAQ">NXPI</a>), saying the company faces increased challenges in maintaining demand.&nbsp;
Despite Intel's strong market presence in PCs and enterprise servers, Fitch warned of higher execution risk and a relatively weaker financial structure, the report added.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Intel's Financial Strain Persists Despite Revenue Beat</h2>
The downgrade follows <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/07/46617195/intel-q2-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-miss-chipmaker-sees-clear-opportunities-to-enhance-competitive-position">Intel's second-quarter results</a>, which showed revenue of $12.86 billion, beating Wall Street's $11.91 billion forecast.
Still, the company posted an adjusted loss of 10 cents per share, missing expectations for a 1-cent profit. Client Computing revenue was down 3% year-over-year to $7.9 billion, while Data Center and AI rose 4% to $3.9 billion.
Fitch noted Intel's liquidity remains "solid," backed by $21.2 billion in cash and short-term investments and an untapped $7 billion credit revolver.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">CEO Lip-Bu Tan Launches Massive Overhaul</h2>
Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan, who took <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/specialty-etfs/25/04/44767888/how-intels-ceo-pick-could-jolt-chip-stocks-and-etfs">the helm in March</a>, is leading a drastic restructuring. Intel plans to cut its global workforce by roughly 31%—from nearly 109,000 to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46621426/intel-ceo-says-hes-making-hard-but-necessary-decisions-as-chipmaker-announces-massive-layoffs-project-cancellations">75,000—by year-end</a>.
The Foundry division alone faces a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46199580/microsoft-rivian-intel-slash-jobs-in-june-tech-layoff-spree">15–20% workforce reduction</a>. Intel is also relocating assembly operations from Costa Rica to Vietnam and Malaysia and delaying its long-anticipated Ohio chip facility.
Intel expects the third-quarter revenue to be between $12.6 billion and $13.6 billion and forecasts a 24-cent loss per share, worse than analyst expectations.
Price Action: Intel shares rose 0.98% during Monday's regular trading session and edged up an additional 0.0015% in after-hours trading, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/register?utm_adType=bzprocontent&amp;utm_campaign=14daytrial&amp;utm_ad=0717">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Under AMD, Qualcomm Competitive Heat, Intel Gets Hit With Fitch Credit Downgrade

On Monday, Cathie Wood-led Ark Invest made significant trades involving Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>), NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), and Robinhood Markets Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOOD#NASDAQ">HOOD</a>). These trades highlight Ark&#8217;s strategic positioning in the tech and financial sectors.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The AMD Trade</h2>
The ARK Autonomous Technology &amp; Robotics ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKQ#BATS">ARKQ</a>) and ARK Space Exploration &amp; Innovation ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKX#BATS">ARKX</a>) funds increased their stake in AMD by purchasing 14,258 and 9,160 shares, respectively. The total value of AMD shares bought by Ark on this day amounts to $4.1 million. The stock closed at $176.78 for the day.
This move comes as AMD&#8217;s stock is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/08/46832330/amd-stock-is-rising-ahead-of-earnings-this-week-whats-fueling-the-momentum">gaining momentum</a> ahead of its earnings report. AMD&#8217;s CPUs are becoming increasingly popular among gamers, contributing to the stock&#8217;s rise.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Nvidia Trade</h2>
Ark&#8217;s ARKQ and ARKX funds also made notable purchases of shares in the Jensen Huang-led company, acquiring 14,134 and 9,077 shares, respectively. The total value of the trade was $4.2 million as Nvidia stock ended Monday at $180.
This acquisition aligns with NVIDIA&#8217;s <a href="http://176.78">potential to expand its sales</a> in China, as highlighted by a BofA Securities analyst. The analyst maintained a Buy rating on NVIDIA, citing strong sales momentum and long-term earnings potential.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Robinhood Trade</h2>
In a contrasting move, the Ark Fintech Innovation ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKF#BATS">ARKF</a>) fund sold 12,613 shares of Robinhood. This decision follows the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/25/08/46823971/how-coinbase-robinhood-circle-could-benefit-from-the-secs-new-project-crypto">SEC&#8217;s announcement</a> of &#8220;Project Crypto,&#8221; which could potentially benefit Robinhood.
Ark&#8217;s Robinhood trade was valued at $1.3 million based on the stock&#8217;s closing price of $106.37 on Monday.

Cathie Wood Drops $8.3 Million On AMD And Nvidia In Monday Trading Blitz, Sells Robinhood Stock Amid 'Project Crypto' Buzz

An old interview clip of Nvidia Corporation CEO Jensen Huang resurfaced over the weekend, drawing admiration from Elon Musk, who labeled the tech leader's intense work ethic as simply "hardcore."
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Nvidia CEO's 5 AM-To-9:30 PM Schedule</h2>
The video, originally released in November 2023 by Norges Bank Investment Management, features Huang sharing a candid look into his daily routine and mindset.
"I work every day. There's not a day that goes by that I don't work. And if I'm not working, I'm thinking about work," Huang told host Nicolai Tangen, the CEO of the bank.
He described waking up at 5 a.m. and going to bed by 9:30 p.m., underscoring the importance of both productivity and sleep.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Huang Doesn't Need To Relax; He Is Always Relaxed</h2>
"Working is relaxing for me. Solving problems is relaxing for me. Achieving something is relaxing for me," Huang said. "And the most relaxing is just hanging out with my family."
"I relax in a lot of different ways. I&#8217;m pretty relaxed," he added.
When asked how he defines his intensity, Huang said, "There's hard work, and then there's insanely hard work&#8230; I'm on the insanely hard work end of the scale."
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Elon Musk Praises Nvidia Chief</h2>
After the video was shared on X, formerly Twitter, Tesla CEO chimed in with a one-word response: "Hardcore." Musk himself has famously committed to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46288606/kevin-oleary-says-steve-jobs-was-not-a-nice-guy-but-taught-him-a-success-formula-that-elon-musk-now-uses">intense work routines</a>, at times sleeping in Tesla factories or server rooms to push progress.

Musk, worth $357 billion, according to Bloomberg's Billionaire <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/billionaires/">Index</a>, is now personally overseeing Tesla's $16.5 billion AI6 chip deal with Samsung. "I will walk the line personally to accelerate the pace of progress," he said, hinting at his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46682096/elon-musk-said-he-would-walk-the-line-personally-following-16-5-billion-samsung-deal-is-this-a-return-to-wartime-ceo-mode">renewed hands-on focus</a>.

Jensen Huang Once Said, 'There's Hard Work And Then There's Insanely Hard Work' — Now, Elon Musk Calls It 'Hardcore'

When Randall called in to "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SuPLCppPvxs">The Ramsey Show</a>" to ask a financial question, it quickly turned into a conversation about family tension, legal ownership — and hitting a moose in Alaska.
The car in question belonged to Randall's father-in-law, or so it seemed at first. After an accident left the vehicle totaled, Randall received a surprisingly high $10,000 insurance payout. Now, he wants to know: Is it ethical — or even legal — to keep the money?
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Car, a Moose, and a Complicated Arrangement</h2>
Randall explained to hosts <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/management/25/07/46632365/you-cant-even-afford-rent-ramsey-hosts-clash-with-woman-trying-to-buy-an-rv-while-40k-in-debt">Ken Coleman</a> and George Kamel that he wrecked his father-in-law's vehicle in Alaska after colliding with a moose — something that's apparently not all that rare in his area.&nbsp;

The bigger issue? It wasn't the first time he'd totaled one of his father-in-law's cars.
Two years earlier, the father-in-law had purchased the vehicle during a visit to see Randall and his family. Since then, the father-in-law hadn't returned, and Randall had been using and maintaining the car full-time.&nbsp;
At the time of purchase, they agreed that Randall would pay for insurance and upkeep. The car was registered and titled in Randall's name, with no mention of repayment or formal ownership.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Unexpected Insurance Windfall</h2>
Randall expected a modest payout for the "clunky" vehicle, around $3,000. But the insurance company valued it at $10,000. That's when the confusion — and tension — started. Although Randall is the titleholder and policyholder, his father-in-law now claims he is the rightful owner and wants the full payout.

To complicate matters, Randall says his father-in-law began contacting the insurance company to get updates, even though the policy is under Randall's name. "He's the type that will cut off ties relationship-wise something like this," Randall told the hosts.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Legally Randall's Car — But What About Morally?</h2>
While legally the vehicle belongs to Randall — the title and insurance are in his name — the hosts emphasized that the deeper issue is about navigating a strained relationship.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/management/25/07/46607909/her-husband-believes-the-government-isnt-real-and-that-they-dont-have-to-pay-back-anything-so-they-didnt-and-now-owe-900k-in-total">Kamel</a> pointed out that the father-in-law essentially gave the car as a gift, since there was no agreement to repay the $3,500 he initially spent on it. "If you want to give him the $3,500 that he put into, that's fine," Kamel said. "And let that be off your conscience. But I'm not gonna give him a check for 10 grand."&nbsp;
Coleman added that while the father-in-law may feel entitled, the legal facts don't support that view. Still, the bigger question is what decision would preserve the family relationship. "You&#8217;re going to have to come down to not what is right in the grand sense of the word, but what is right for your relationship going forward," Coleman said.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Finding a Middle Ground</h2>
Ultimately, the hosts agreed that giving the father-in-law the original $3,500 might be the most practical solution. It acknowledges his initial contribution without handing over the full insurance payout.&nbsp;
As for the rest? Randall can decide whether to use it toward a new vehicle — or possibly to cover damage for the next moose encounter.

$1000 Invested In TopBuild 10 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

Many investors and entrepreneurs <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/earnings/25/07/46684547/spotify-user-base-grows-but-profitability-concerns-linger">listen to music </a>throughout their daily routines. Coinbase Global Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>) CEO Brian Armstrong sometimes listens to the same song over and over, thanks to a Spotify Technology (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPOT#NYSE">SPOT</a>) playlist.
How is COIN trading now? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/COIN">Track it here.</a>
What Happened: Armstrong, who once<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/21/04/20660641/coinbase-ceo-brian-armstrong-on-his-companys-beginnings-satoshis-whitepaper-sleeping-in-of"> slept in the Coinbase office </a>during the early days, has helped transform the cryptocurrency trading platform company into one of the largest in the sector today.
Coinbase is often looked to as a leader in the cryptocurrency sector and a soaring price for Bitcoin over the last year has put companies such as Coinbase in the spotlight again. Armstrong is among the cryptocurrency executives helping push regulations for the sector in the U.S.
One of the secret weapons for Armstrong may be his listening habits. A <a href="https://panamaplaylists.com/">leak </a>of Spotify playlists revealed the Coinbase CEO has a playlist that contains the same song 60 times.
"From the Spotify leak — I've been exposed for having a 7-hour-long playlist with only one song on it. It helps me do deep focused work, don't ask me why," Armstrong <a href="https://x.com/brian_armstrong/status/1951063905448632382">tweeted</a>.
The Coinbase CEO appears to have confirmed the playlist exists and is used for his key work.
The song used in Armstrong's playlist is "Long Way Home" from music producer and DJ Gareth Emery. The song comes in at 7 minutes 25 second long, making the playlist around 7.5 hours long. &nbsp;
Emery took to social media to show his appreciation for Armstrong.
"I love this! Back when I wrote it, everyone thought 7 minutes was way too long and it needed cutting down — glad I kept it exactly as it was, and love seeing that it's still out there doing good in the world!" Emery <a href="https://x.com/garethemery/status/1951121724726190189">tweeted</a>.

Why It's Important: The Panama Playlists provides top song picks for playlists made by CEOs and politicians.
Some names on the list, such as Armstrong, have confirmed the leak as true.
The report has put a spotlight on Spotify's privacy settings that allow users to have their playlists made public for friends and others.
Armstrong has 10 public playlists according to the report. Other jams loved by the Coinbase CEO include:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>"Two Suns In The Sky" by Davi</li>
<li>"Greatest Love of All" by Whitney Houston</li>
<li>"SOL" by Pryda</li>
<li>"Wait For It" by the Original Broadway cast of Hamilton</li>
<li>"Shallow" by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper</li>
</ul>
When it comes to listening habits, there could have been more embarrassing song choices and playlist titles than the ones that belong to Armstrong. For those bullish on Bitcoin, perhaps the 7:25 &#8220;Long Way Home&#8221; can keep some rallies going in the future.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">LG AI Research Backs RNGD After Tests Validate 2.25 Times Efficiency Leap</h2>
FuriosaAI secured a major enterprise design win when LG AI Research selected RNGD for deployment with its ExaOne models, FuriosaAI<a href="https://furiosa.ai/blog/announcing-furiosaais-125m-series-c-bridge-funding-to-scale-sustainable-ai-compute"> says</a>. Benchmark results show RNGD delivers 2.25 times better large language model inference performance per watt versus legacy graphics processing unit hardware.
"After extensively testing a wide range of options, we found RNGD to be a highly effective solution for deploying ExaOne models," LG's product lead, Kijeong Jeon, said in a<a href="https://furiosa.ai/blog/lg-ai-research-taps-furiosaai-to-achieve-2-25x-better-llm-inference-in-production-vs-gpus"> statement</a>. "RNGD provides a compelling combination of benefits: excellent real‑world performance, a dramatic reduction in our total cost of ownership, and a surprisingly straightforward integration."
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Radical Efficiency From First‑Principles Design</h2>
Founded in 2017, FuriosaAI built its chips and software from the ground up with a first‑principles approach aimed at solving the power and cost limitations of GPUs.
"AI today is dependent on a broken business model, where the infrastructure costs and constraints of power-hungry GPUs are a critical, rapidly worsening roadblock. We're committed to solving this so that AI is truly sustainable – not just environmentally but economically as well," FuriosaAI CEO June Paik said in the statement.
Trending: Accredited Investors: Grab Pre-IPO Shares of the AI Company Powering Hasbro, Sephora &amp; MGM—<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/rad-intel">Secure $0.63 Shares Before 8/14&nbsp;</a>
According to<a href="https://furiosa.ai/"> FuriosaAI</a>, the RNGD accelerator is based on the company's proprietary tensor contraction processor architecture, optimized for tensor-heavy LLM workloads on Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) 5-nanometer node.
The newly secured capital will be used to expand global manufacturing of RNGD hardware, onboard enterprise clients, and lay the foundation for a next-generation AI chip release, the company says.
FuriosaAI also recently strengthened its leadership by adding two industry veterans to its team: Jeehoon Kang as chief research officer and Youngjin Cho as vice president of the hardware department.
"With the success of Furiosa's RNGD chip and the significant design win with LG AI Research, June and his leadership team have demonstrated their ability to deliver on their audacious vision for transforming AI computing. We are thrilled to deepen our partnership as they enter their next phase of growth," PI Partners CEO Yoon D. Kang said in the statement.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Efficiency, Sovereignty, and a New AI Compute Paradigm</h2>
Data centers and enterprises are reaching breaking points with the soaring energy costs and carbon impact of GPU‑based infrastructure. FuriosaAI's RNGD accelerator delivers a new approach: inference hardware that combines higher performance per watt with a lower total cost of ownership.
For investors, FuriosaAI's combination of validated architecture, $125 million in fresh capital, and a collaboration with LG AI Research may be a rare chance to back a company challenging Nvidia&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) dominance in AI inference hardware.

The company, which announced its plans to go public last month amid rising interest in space technology investments, produces rockets, space tugs and lunar landers and is recognized for its Alpha satellite launch rockets.&nbsp;
Firefly partners with large industry names including Lockheed Martin, L3Harris and NASA, and recently received a $50 million investment from Northrop Grumman.
Firefly reported revenues of $55.9 million at the end of March, up significantly from $8.3 million a year earlier. However, its net loss also grew to $60.1 million compared to $52.8 million from the previous year.&nbsp;
The IPO, which is scheduled for some day this week, comes as the space sector tests renewed interest in public offerings, with other companies like Voyager Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VOYG#NYSE">VOYG</a>) also entering public markets after a long lull in IPO activity.

The stock's IPO was priced at $31 per share and ended its first day up 82.2% at $56.48.&nbsp;
On its second day, Voyager shares continued their upward trend, gaining more than 9%. Through its upsized IPO, Voyager raised $382.8 million.

$100 Invested In CoStar Group 10 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

Gold is perhaps too expensive for buyers right now, but institutional investors appear to not get enough of it. During the second quarter of 2025, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">gold-backed ETFs</a> recorded their best inflows in years while bullion prices reached fresh record highs.
GLD ETF is moving up.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/GLD" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Check live prices here.</a>
As per the World Gold Council&#8217;s most recent Gold Demand Trends report, global ETFs of gold attracted 170 tonnes (187.4 U.S. tons) during the second quarter alone. That takes the first half 2025 total to almost 400 tonnes, its best six-month performance for gold ETFs since the COVID-19 pandemic-spurred boom of 2020.
And in contrast to the over-the-counter retail gold-buying bonanza of the past, this time institutional belief is behind the flows.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Big Names, Big Inflows</h1>
Behind the gold rush in ETFs are old favorites such as:
SPDR Gold Shares (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLD#NYSE">GLD</a>): The world&#8217;s largest physically backed gold ETF, GLD experienced a spike in demand during this quarter, as it continues to be a favorite for institutional-scale positioning.
iShares Gold Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IAU#NYSE">IAU</a>): At a lower fee, IAU remains popular with cost-sensitive investors seeking long-term bullion exposure. 
Aberdeen Standard Physical Gold Shares ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SGOL#NYSE">SGOL</a>): Provides physical gold held in Swiss vaults, so it&#8217;s a favorite among Europeans with increased geopolitical concerns.
GraniteShares Gold Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAR#NYSE">BAR</a>): The new kid on the block is winning favor with a narrow spread and minimal fees.
Together, these ETFs have poured billions of dollars into the gold market, even as prices averaged an eye-popping $3,280 per ounce in Q2, an astonishing 40% increase year over year. All the above funds are up around 27% so far this year.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Asia&#8217;s Leveraged Appetite</h1>
Surprisingly, North America was not alone in joining the stampede for gold. Asian-listed gold ETFs, which manage only a fifth the assets of their North American counterparts, nearly kept pace with them in the second quarter inflows.
Fund flows from Asia-based funds totaled 70 tonnes (77.2 U.S. tons) during the second quarter, which reflects robust regional appetite despite their relatively modest presence. European-listed ETFs also contributed, increasing their holdings by 24 tonnes (26.5 U.S. tons).
This broad-based demand across geographies implies more than a reflex to gold&#8217;s price move; it implies growing concern about the macro environment.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">What&#8217;s Behind The Inflows?</h1>
While retail jewelry demand collapsed in the second quarter, reaching levels last seen during the pandemic lockdowns, institutional appetite for gold soared. The reasons are all too familiar:
Rising Geopolitical Tensions – From Middle East conflict to rising China-Taiwan tensions, investors are turning to gold as worldwide risk builds.
Currency Volatility – As the dollar declines and uncertainty over trade policy rises, gold continues to be a hedge against fiat volatility.
Fed Policy Uncertainty – While the U.S. Federal Reserve tightrope walks between inflation and recession risk, long-term prospects for interest rates continue to be unclear, supporting non-yielding instruments such as gold.
Collectively, these drivers have brought together a perfect storm of safe-haven demand that has driven gold ETF inflows to a level not seen in five years.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Equities Catching The Shine Too</h1>
The rally in bullion has also spilled over into gold miner ETFs. VanEck Gold Miners ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GDX#NYSE">GDX</a>) and VanEck Junior Gold Miners ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GDXJ#NYSE">GDXJ</a>) have seen revived interest, with investors hoping that higher gold prices will drive mining profits and margins. 
These funds, which provide leveraged exposure to gold via equities, have traditionally performed well in gold bull cycles though with greater volatility. Both funds are up more than 50% so far this year.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Can The Gold ETF Rally Continue?</h1>
The World Gold Council anticipates further flows into gold ETFs during the second half of the year, but perhaps not at the blistering rates of the first and second quarters. Risks on the horizon include:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Dollar Strength – A possible bounce in the U.S. dollar could weigh on the price of gold and diminish ETF demand.</li>
<li>Profit-Taking – Following a 40% rally in prices, some investors might prefer to lock in profit, particularly if volatility returns to equity markets.</li>
</ul>
Gold may not sparkle for all presently, particularly not for jewelry consumers priced out, but it is a good choice for ETF investors looking for solidity in a turbulent world.
