Taiwan stocks suffered epic selling pressure! Affected by the slump in U.S. technology stocks and the changes in the political situation after the U.S. midterm elections, the Taiwan stock market once opened today (6th) and fell by more than 3,000 points. Electronics and semiconductor equity stocks were severely hit. However, Taiwan's first gold mining ETF "009832", which was only listed on October 29, bucked the trend and rose, hitting a new high of 10.29 yuan since its listing.
Mega Investment Trust pointed out that 009832 tracks the "NYSE TIP U.S. Gold Mining Index" and its investment targets cover the world's major gold miners listed on U.S. stocks. In addition to being linked to gold prices, it also has the opportunity to provide investment performance that is different from the electronics industry when technology stocks face corrections, reducing the risk of over-concentration of investment portfolios in a single industry.
Observing the fundamentals of the gold market, Mega Investment cited statistics from the World Gold Council and pointed out that the net inflow of global gold ETFs reached 211.2 metric tons in the third quarter of this year, indicating that global legal persons’ demand for gold asset allocation continues to heat up.
Mega Investment Bank recommends that in the face of changes in the global political and economic situation, violent rotations in technology stocks, and sharp fluctuations in Taiwanese stocks, investors can re-examine asset allocation and avoid excessive concentration in a single industry. Gold mining ETFs invest in the stocks of mining companies, which is not the same as directly holding gold. Compared with direct investment in physical gold or gold futures, gold mining ETFs participate in the gold industry market by investing in gold mining companies. In addition to having the opportunity to benefit from rising gold prices and driving corporate profit growth, they can also fill the allocation gap in resource industries in the investment portfolio.
