Interest in exchange-traded gold products remains high
January 13, 2014--Xetra-Gold from Deutsche BÖrse Commodities GmbH remains by far the most traded ETC on Xetra, as in previous years. Trading volume was around €1.7 billion in 2013. Xetra-Gold (DE000A0S9GB0) alone thus accounted for a good 28% of all ETC trading. db Physical Gold Euro Hedged ETC (DE000A1EK0G3) took second place and db Physical Gold ETC (EUR) (DE000A1E0HR8) took third.
This means that the three top ETCs in 2013 were all gold products -just like in the previous year.
"Although the gold price fell sharply in 2013, exchange traded gold products continued to experience strong demand. Many investors probably used the low prices to enter the market. Amongst all the gold ETCs Xetra-Gold excelled with the highest trading revenues. Investors value this simple, flexible and safe way of participating in the performance of the gold price," said Martina Gruber, managing director at Deutsche BÖrse Commodities GmbH.
