ZKB Gold ETF hedged (CHF)

I heard about a gold ETF of the Zurich Cantonal Bank (ZKB) hedging against the US dollar. I still have to look into it in detail but from a cursory look I learnt that I ought to buy it if I expect the USD to weaken some more against the CHF. This ETF is traded on the Swiss stock market (SIX) with the symbol ZGLDHC. Unfortunately I didn't know about it before the recent decline of the USD against CHF. I see that the same gold ETF is also available with hedges against the EUR and GBP. It is mentioned in this pamphlet of ZKB.

Is Holcim turning around?

Today's close of Holcim (SIX:HOLN) of CHF 68.30 gives a buy signal but I don't trust it. On 4 May 2011 the price gapped down to a level similar to that on 1 July 2010, and that time the price dropped to a low of CHF 59.95 before a long-term recovery started.

Buy signal for gold, but I'll wait some more

 


The trendline I have drawn for the ZKB Gold ETF (SIX:ZGLDUS) shows a buy signal, with the price closing above the line yesterday. However, the price has been falling again during the night, as show on the 15-minute chart on goldprice.org, and therefore I won't buy the ETF yet.
