Gold price day % return disconnect?

Post by Maestro G »

Hi all,

Today, Morningstar shows the % gold spot price increase as 1.38%. So, why did IAU and GLD retreat by -.19% and -.17% respectively. I don't expect them to increase or decrease commensurately all the time, but a daily difference of over 1% is significant and the dislocation is more then a bit troubling. Is this a drawback of ETF's, or are Morningstar's numbers just incorrect or what?

Thanks much for any insight and Happy Thanksgiving!

[color=orange]Never mind, I see now that MS has updated their spot gold price to reflect -.08% today, so I guess it's just a delayed timing issue. [/color]

Cheers! :)

Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift, that's why it's called the present. Most daily market noise is "a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."
