VanEck Gold Miners ETF
No enriched coverage for $GDX in the last 7 days.
Spot gold traded near $4,168, down 0.05%. The GLD gold fund fell 0.18% to $382.01, while the SLV silver fund dropped 0.79% to $51.51. The GDX miners fund rose 0.79% to $87.71. Gold and silver prices were influenced by Fed rate pause hopes and higher oil prices, affecting inflation expectations. Key miners like Newmont and Pan American Silver saw gains, while Buenaventura declined.
GLD, GDX, and GDXJ showed different returns over the past month, with GLD down 7.12%, GDX down 13.18%, and GDXJ down 14.52%. GLD holds physical gold, while GDX and GDXJ invest in gold mining companies, with GDXJ focusing on junior miners. Mining funds have higher volatility due to operating leverage, affecting returns more than gold itself.
Gold prices fell to a two-month low, with spot gold closing at $4,109.90 per ounce, down 1.28%. The decline followed Fed signals of another rate hike, with the 10-year Treasury yield at 5.36%. Gold-related ETFs and mining stocks, including Newmont and Barrick, also dropped. China's central bank continued buying gold, but analysts warn of further pressure due to higher rates.

After a weak June jobs report (57,000 jobs vs 110,000 expected; BLS cut 74,000 from prior months), markets priced down a July Fed hike (FedWatch ~20%). Treasury yields and the dollar fell, lifting rate-sensitive assets: spot gold +2.5% to ~$4,134/oz and silver +4.3% to ~$61.80; gold/silver miners also rose. Benzinga Pro Movers cited HOOD (+9% to $118.39) and ASX (+4.1% to $44.74).
VanEck’s report, citing Sprott Managing Partner Paul Wong, argues that 2026’s rising inflation, fiscal deficits and sovereign debt could shift focus toward preserving purchasing power. It says official buyers added a net 244 tons of gold in Q1 2026, continuing 1,000+ tons/year on average. Wong links this to “fiscal dominance,” noting debt-to-GDP near 120% and annual interest costs around $1.2 trillion.
