On September 2, VanEck Junior Gold Miners ETF rose 5.23% in regular trading, trading at $128.9/share, with turnover of $123 million. The rally represents a technical rebound across the gold mining sector, recovering losses from the prior session's sharp selloff.

The rebound follows a steep decline triggered by Fed Chair Wosh's hawkish remarks at the Jackson Hole symposium, which sent spot gold tumbling 3.19% to $4,455/oz and the gold miners index down 4.6%. The ETF itself had fallen 5.36% in the previous session amid concentrated selling pressure. Market consensus from major brokerages suggests the Fed is likely to hold rates steady in September, with upcoming inflation and employment data seen as critical for the policy path. While short-term hawkish repricing has boosted the dollar and pressured gold, the medium-term outlook for lower long-end real rates continues to support gold's upside potential, albeit at a slower pace.

Notably, the NYSE Arca Gold Miners Index posted a cumulative 33% gain in August, its best August performance since at least 1994, suggesting strong underlying bullish sentiment remains intact. Junior miners, with higher operating leverage to gold prices, tend to exhibit amplified rebounds.

The fund normally invests at least 80% of its total assets in securities that comprise the index, which includes companies generating at least 50% of revenues from gold and/or silver mining, royalties, or streaming.
