Gold ETFs jump in U.S. premarket as bullion firms on Fed-cut bets, Venezuela risk

U.S.-listed gold exchange-traded funds climbed in premarket trading on Tuesday, tracking a fresh leg higher in bullion as investors weighed rate-cut expectations against rising geopolitical risk. SPDR Gold Shares and iShares Gold Trust were both up about 2.6% before the opening bell, while spot gold was up 0.1% at $4,452.60 an ounce after a near 3% jump in the previous session. ActivTrades analyst Ricardo Evangelista pointed to “safe-haven demand” and “rising bets on Federal Reserve rate cuts.” Bullion hit a record $4,549.71 on Dec. 26 and ended 2025 up 64%. Reuters
