NUGT is trading at $203.95, up 4.02%, as gold futures rise approximately 1.13% overnight to $4,623.06.
- Gold remains supported by a weaker dollar and the U.S. Treasury’s expanded long-term bond-buyback program, which has pressured yields and improved bullion sentiment.
- Gold’s third consecutive weekly gain is lifting mining equities, whose operating leverage amplifies bullion moves.
- The move is sector-driven: equity futures are only modestly higher, while miners respond to elevated bullion prices and safe-haven demand.
