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%.

Axios reports Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu today refused to comply with a Supreme Court ruling. The move is the first such occurrence in Israeli history and sharply escalates the constitutional crisis ahead of October's election.
