On September 3, Direxion Daily Gold Miners Index Bull 2X Shares rose 8.15% in regular trading, trading at approximately $200.98/share, with turnover of $147 million, extending the strong rebound from the prior session.
On the news front, weaker-than-expected ADP employment data continued to support bullish sentiment across gold mining equities. Spot gold climbed to $4,350/oz intraday, expanding its daily gain to 0.52%, reinforcing demand for gold-linked leveraged products. The NYSE Arca Gold Miners Index posted a cumulative 33% gain in August, marking its best August performance since at least 1994, underscoring sustained momentum in the sector.
Earlier, the sector had experienced a sharp pullback after Fed Chair Waller delivered a hawkish speech at the Jackson Hole symposium, but mining stocks staged a collective recovery. Technically, analysts have noted that gold faces resistance near the 200-day moving average at $4,530 and support around $4,311 and $4,215, suggesting the sector remains in a contested range.
