On August 12, MicroSectors Gold Miners 3x Leveraged ETN rose 8.37% in regular trading, trading at $138.85/share, with turnover of $79.42 million.

The rally was driven by spot gold breaking above $4,400 per ounce to reach a two-month high. The core catalyst was significantly weaker-than-expected U.S. July non-farm payroll data, which sharply reduced market expectations for a September Fed rate hike. The U.S. dollar index retreated below 100, easing real-rate pressure on gold. Simultaneously, global gold ETF holdings rose by over 23 tons to 4,068 tons, with central bank purchases continuing to provide a floor for prices.

On the technical front, gold's breakout above its 100-day moving average triggered follow-through buying. As a 3x leveraged ETN tracking gold miners, GDXU amplified the underlying sector gains from rising gold prices. The market is now awaiting U.S. July CPI data, with expectations that a reading below the consensus 3.4% could push gold further toward the $4,450-$4,500 range.
