Caution mixed with optimism yesterday as investors pulled $1.2 billion from the SPDR Gold Trust (GLD), which had gained 28% for the year through Tuesday's session on concerns that markets would continue tumbling as a tariff war played out. 

At the same time, they poured $832.8 million into the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO)—while the S&P 500 index rose 2.5%—as the White House sought to calm investors' fears over the fate of Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell and and the future of Chinese tariffs.
