GLTR Rated Strong Buy as Precious Metals Consolidate After Record Highs

Analyst Andrew Hecht issued a strong-buy rating for the Aberdeen Physical Precious Metals Basket ETF (GLTR) on May 26, highlighting long-term bullish momentum despite short-term choppiness. The call follows American Alternative Assets’ May 25 release of its 2026 Precious Metals IRA guide, which targeted retirees amid successive gold all-time highs. GLTR, holding gold as its largest component and carrying a 0.60% fee, trades 6.3% above its March low after the parabolic advance ended in late January 2026. The ETF is viewed as a diversified vehicle for investors seeking exposure to gold, silver, platinum and palladium amid ongoing policy uncertainty.
