ECB Governing Council member WUNSCH said the ECB may need to do more, but current conditions do not warrant a large policy tightening; further action is not ruled out, though we should not wait too long.

Sources say Hong Kong’s Mandatory Provident Fund (MPF) system will be permitted to invest in more gold ETFs as part of the Hong Kong government’s plan to build a regional gold trading centre. The MPFA is expected to amend gold ETF investment rules later this week. MPFA-regulated MPF assets were about HKD1.53 tln (USD195bn) at end-March. Currently the MPFA approves gold ETFs on a case-by-case basis; the proposed change would make ETFs that meet prescribed standards automatically eligible, removing the need for individual approvals. The move is intended to expand choices for roughly 4.8 million MPF members. Risk controls would remain: gold ETFs would be barred from using derivative leverage and the MPF allocation cap to gold ETFs would stay at 10%.
