GDXU is trading at $106.86, up +6.65%, as a softer U.S. dollar and easing Treasury yields strengthen gold’s appeal. - Overnight, spot gold rose 0.9% to $4,169.32; U.S. gold futures gained 0.9% in early trading on October 9. - The rebound follows gold’s recent two-month low and is the clearest sector catalyst for GDXU’s pre-market advance. - Lingering inflation and expectations for possible Fed rate increases remain risks.
