GDXU is trading at $132.23 (-4.38%) as gold prices fall amid higher Treasury yields. - Gold futures are down roughly 0.5%, pressuring gold-miner shares and GDXU’s 3x daily exposure. - Rising Treasury yields increase the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding bullion. - The move appears sector-driven rather than company-specific; higher oil prices, geopolitical supply disruptions and energy-driven inflation are reinforcing interest-rate concerns ahead of Federal Reserve meeting minutes, while broader risk-off trading adds pressure.
