Commodity traders are moving back into safe-haven gold exchange traded funds and away from industrial metals on concerns of slowing economic growth in the emerging markets and amid the global sell-off in equities.
Thenames for a shar pei SPDR Gold Shares (
GLD
) , iShares Gold Trust (
IAU
) and the ETFS Physical Swiss Gold Shares (
SGOL
) have all gained a little over 3% year-to-date.
In comparison, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index is down 6.6% so far this year while the S&P 500 is down 3.5%.
Net longs in gold futures surged 40% to 60,672 futures and options in the week ended Jan. 28, with long bets increasing 5.5% to the highest since September while short bets dipped 16%, reports Debarati Roy for
Bloomberg
.

About $1.9 trillion was erased from global equities in the past month after China revealed slower growth, the Fed continued tapering and other emerging market economies increased rates to stem their quickly depreciating currencies.
Hedge funds are also dumping copper with net-bullish copper holdings plunging 62% as shorts gained the most in 11 weeks on emerging market growth concerns. Barclays Plc predicts global production will outstrip demand by 167,000 tons this year.
“China rules the copper market, and it’s obvious that there are no reasons for this market to move higher as supply is ample, and demand is sluggish,” Jankovskis added.
The iPath Dow Jones-UBS Copper Total Return Sub-Index ETN (
JJC
) , which tracks copper futures, is down 6.3% year-to-date. [
