Gold retakes $1,300, investors flock to ETFs After gaining value in seven straight days, investors are banking on the fact that gold will finish the week on a positive note. After Thursday's weak retail sales data, gold futures climbed above $1,300, trading at its highest level since early November. The surge in gold is rejuvenating interest in the SPDR Gold Trust GLD According to Commerzbank's commodity strategist as quoted in Barron's: “Among other things, it was poor retail sales figures in the US which contributed to yesterday's price surge – they fell sharply in January, which also indicates that the US economy is losing momentum somewhat in the first quarter of 2014. The weaker US dollar likewise lent support to the gold price. The gold ETFs tracked by Bloomberg recorded inflows of 7.4 tons yesterday, the second considerable daily inflow this year. This is solely attributable to the SPDR Gold Trust, the world's largest gold ETF, and brings its holdings to above the 800 ton mark again for the first time since the end of December.” Shares of the SPDR Gold ETF were trading higher by 1.20 percent in the pre-market session.

Chelsea Therapeutics: FDA to decide today On Wednesday, The Street's biotech expert Adam Feuerstein predicted that Chelsea Therapeutics CHTP has a 70 percent chance of seeing its Northera treatment of neurogenic orthostatic hypotension approved by the FDA. The FDA will make its final decision today. Feuerstein noted that “there's a small chance FDA delays the Northera decision given the short amount of time between Friday's approval decision date and last month's positive advisory panel. A short delay for administrative reasons -- meaning no requirements for additional clinical data -- won't matter much and may actually benefit Chelsea since the orphan indication clock doesn't start ticking until approval.” On January 15, the FDA voted 16-1 to recommend the approval of Northera. Shares were trading higher by 2.43 percent in the pre-market session.
