🟢 GDX is trading 4.04% up today on surging Brent crude and U.S.–Iran tensions boosting safe-haven demand

GDX is trading at $76.33 (+4.04%) as surging Brent crude prices and renewed U.S.–Iran tensions drive safe-haven demand for gold and gold miners.

• Brent crude has climbed above $85, fueling a concentrated move in the precious-metals complex despite mixed broader pre-market futures.
• The rebound represents a sector-specific reversal from the prior session’s weakness, which was pressured by rising energy costs and risk-off volatility.
