SPDR Gold Trust (GLD) Rocked with Biggest One Day Outflow

SPDR Gold Trust (GLD) reported it experienced its biggest gold outflow of gold for one day since August 2011. Gold bullion held by the ETF fell by 20.77 tons on Wednesday when the market made a big correction.

Much of this was the result of the orchestrated move by the Federal Reserve to allow the appearance some of its members are questioning whether it should continue with its quantitative easing policy even if it doesn't reach its unemployment target.

A hedge fund rumor floated throughout the day that one had to sell a lot of gold to cover itself. That proved to be unfounded, although combined with the Fed minutes and uncertain economic outlook made for the perfect storm to drive the market and price of gold down.

After the outflow of gold, SPDR currently holds about 1,300 tons of gold. The highest amount it has held as in the last month of 2012, when the total reached 1,353 tons.

Most of this is benign, but it did plant the concern in some investor's heads that the bull gold run may be nearing an end; undoubtedly one of the reasons the Fed released the minutes.

SPDR Gold Shares closed Thursday at $152.62, gaining $1.18, or 0.78 percent.
