On September 4, Direxion Daily Gold Miners Index Bull 2X Shares fell 8.12% in pre-market trading, trading at $185.17/share, with turnover of $7.4643 million. The decline came as the broader gold mining sector pulled back collectively following four consecutive sessions of rebounds.
On the news front, Fed Chair Wosh delivered hawkish signals at the Jackson Hole symposium, with the probability of a September rate hike remaining elevated in the 58% to 66% range. The tightening expectations pressured gold prices, which in turn dragged down gold mining equities broadly. Key sector constituents including Coeur Mining fell 4.39%, Kinross Gold fell 3.64%, Wheaton Precious Metals fell 3.58%, and Barrick Mining fell 3.08%. As a 2X leveraged product, the ETF amplified the underlying index pullback. Notably, the NYSE Arca Gold Miners Index had surged 33% in August, marking its best August performance since at least 1994, but the rally appears to have stalled amid renewed macro headwinds.
