Gold and silver exchange-traded funds gained on Monday as the underlying metals surged to new highs.

Prices for gold bullion (GOLD) topped $2,450 for the first time on Monday, while silver (SILVER) was trading at its highest level in 11 years, around $32

Precious metals have been boosted by geopolitical tensions and weakness in the U.S. dollar after benign inflation data in the U.S. last week boosted hopes that the Federal Reserve could be in a position to consider cutting its benchmark interest rate.

That's good news for exchange-traded funds that hold gold and silver.

SPDR Gold Shares ETF (GLD)—the oldest and largest ETF backed by physical gold, with $64.8 billion in assets at the end of last week—rose 0.4% Monday and has gained 17.5% so far this year. Shares in another popular gold ETF, the iShares Gold Trust (IAU), also gained 0.4% Monday and are up 17.6% in 2024.

In recent months, gold prices have been rising, propped up to a large extent by central bank purchases, especially from China.

Early in the year, investors were pulling money out of gold ETFs, according to analysis from the World Gold Council. However, the recent rally in gold prices may have helped turn the tide in favor of the yellow metal, with North American gold ETFs recording net inflows in March and April after massive outflows in the first two months of the year.

Silver ETFs were also higher after an increase in the price of the underlying precious metal.

The iShares Physical Silver Trust (SLV), with $12.4 billion in assets, gained 0.7% on the day and are up 33% since the start of the year as retail investors look for diversification.

Shares of Hims & Hers Health (HIMS) surged close to 28% Monday after the telehealth company said it would begin offering GLP-1 injections as part of its weight-loss package of drugs.

The market for weight-loss treatments has exploded in recent years, led by drugs containing the same active ingredient, such as Mounjaro and Zepbound from Eli Lilly (LLY) and Ozempic and Wegovy from Danish drugmaker Novo Nordisk (NVO).

The rising popularity of GLP-1 weight-loss drugs has helped drive Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk's earnings and stock prices significantly higher in the last year as both companies have worked to raise production capacity to meet demand. The move by Hims & Hers Health to offer GLP-1 injections could help the telehealth company capitalize on the trend.

“We’ve leveraged our size and scale to secure access to one of the highest-quality supplies of compounded GLP-1 injections available today," Hims & Hers co-founder and CEO Andrew Dudum said in a Monday statement.

The cost for Hims & Hers weight-loss treatment plans including oral prescriptions start at $79 per month, while the compounded GLP-1 injections will start at $199 per month. That pricing could make Hims & Hers treatments more affordable for some users than Ozempic and Mounjaro, which can range from as low as $25 for someone with insurance that covers the treatments to over $1,000 for a monthly supply, depending on eligibility for certain savings programs.

The company said the shots will be distributed through its pharmacy partners, with plans to expand the program's offerings once "consistent supply" is available.

The company said its current earnings guidance doesn't include the potential impact the weight-loss drugs will have on its future earnings, and it isn't updating its guidance at this time.

Hims & Hers shares finished 27.7% higher Monday at $18.60. With Monday's gains, they've more than doubled in value since the start of the year.
