NUGT is trading at $181.41, down 5.74%, as renewed Federal Reserve tightening concerns pressure leveraged gold-miner exposure.

  • August PPI rose 0.4% month over month and 5.3% year over year; firm Treasury yields reduced demand for non-yielding gold assets.
  • The decline was amplified by NUGT’s leveraged structure and broader risk-off conditions following the U.S.-Iran escalation and oil’s move above $100 per barrel, intensifying inflation concerns.
