🔴 Gold Miners ETF (GDXU) is trading 6.1% down in pre-market on August 13, 2026 as gold futures retreat

GDXU is trading at $127.00, down -6.09%, as gold futures pulled back overnight.

• Gold futures fell 0.32%–0.79% toward $4,395.00–$4,432.25.
• Traders reduced exposure ahead of the 8:30 AM ET PPI release, which could affect Fed-rate expectations; markets are focused on whether PPI changes the rates outlook.
• The decline appears sector-specific: major U.S. index futures remained slightly higher, while leveraged gold-miner exposure amplified the move after gold’s rally following July CPI meeting expectations and investors reassessed September Fed-hike odds.
