On September 10, MicroSectors Gold Miners 3x Leveraged ETN fell 10.03% in regular trading, trading at $146.38/share, with turnover of approximately $88.96 million. As a 3x leveraged ETN tracking gold mining stocks, the product amplified the sector-wide sell-off triggered by surging oil prices and mounting rate hike expectations.

On the news front, Brent crude futures surged above $101 per barrel, intensifying inflation concerns and fueling market expectations for a Fed rate hike in September. Goldman Sachs maintained its year-end gold price target of $4,900/oz, while JPMorgan adjusted its Q3 average price forecast to around $4,300/oz, with both banks cautioning that an earlier-than-expected rate hike could further compress upside for gold prices. The triple leverage magnified the underlying gold miners' decline significantly.

Notably, global gold ETFs recorded $18 billion in inflows in August — the second-largest monthly inflow on record — and a weaker U.S. dollar index near 98.71 had provided some support to gold on the prior session. However, the oil-driven inflation narrative and hawkish monetary policy outlook ultimately overwhelmed those supportive factors, leading to a sharp reversal in gold mining equities.
