Momentum in "GLDM stock price" at $43.26 is partly driven by central bank gold purchases. Macro economists link this trend to diversification away from USD-denominated assets, benefiting GLDM holders. The SPDR Gold MiniShares is designed to track the physical price of gold. Shares are up 43% over the last year. SPDR Gold MiniShares has an expense ratio of 0.1% which is lower than some of the other physical gold ETFs. Investors have access to a streamlined and efficient approach to gold investing through gold exchange-traded funds (ETFs). These instruments provide a convenient, liquid, and cost-effective method to gain exposure to the precious metal, offering an attractive alternative to holding physical gold. Currently, "GLDM stock price" is consolidating near $43.22 after yesterday’s mild pullback. Commodity strategists highlight that seasonal patterns often favor gold in late Q1, which could support price appreciation in GLDM.
