GDXU is trading at $163.47, up 3.05%, as gold-miner shares continue benefiting from Wednesday’s sharp bullion rally.

  • The rally followed the Treasury’s expanded long-term bond buyback program and falling yields.
  • Gold reached $4,525.79 before profit-taking pushed spot prices down 0.6% to $4,495.69 on August 20, 2026.
  • The pullback explains premarket weakness; the current gain reflects continued gold-miner strength and GDXU’s 3X leverage.
