On September 23, MicroSectors Gold Miners 3x Leveraged ETN fell 8.32% in pre-market trading, trading at $139.50/share, with turnover of $7.83 million.

On the news front, the Federal Reserve raised interest rates by 25 basis points last week to a range of 3.75%–4.00%, and multiple officials have since continued to deliver hawkish signals. Minneapolis Fed President Neel Kashkari explicitly stated that inflationary pressures have permeated the services sector, with market pricing reflecting an 88% probability of another rate hike in December. The persistently hawkish stance has weighed heavily on gold prices, which had briefly stabilized near the $4,320 level at the 100-day moving average before resuming their decline.

As a triple-leveraged ETN tracking gold mining stocks, GDXU significantly amplifies underlying movements in both gold prices and mining equities. The combination of gold price pullbacks driven by tightening monetary policy expectations and the inherent leverage mechanism has magnified losses. Meanwhile, easing Middle East geopolitical tensions have further reduced safe-haven demand, adding incremental pressure on precious metals.
