Market volatility stemming from the presidential election, geopolitical conflicts, interest rates , as well as dollar and Treasury yield fluctuations have sent gold prices on a wild ride this year.

Gold Mining ETF Sees Huge Volume Surge

The surge in gold prices in 2024 has seen gold breakout to new all-time highs and gold mining stocks out-perform. More precisely, the Gold Miners ETF (GDX) has steadily risen making high after high.

Gold Miners (GDX) Near Larger Selloff? Investor Opportunity!

The VanEck Gold Miners ETF (GDX) offers a compelling medium-term Gold proxy for investors seeking higher returns, despite not being as "safe" as physical Gold. Newmont Corporation (NEM) is getting walloped following a 5 cent miss on EPS for Q3-24. As the largest holding in GDX, NEM is pulling the entire sector down with it. In my view, Q4 guidance from Newmont was actually pretty good with AISC margin improving 40% quarter over quarter at a $2,750 Gold price.

GDX: Dips Are Buys From Here

The price of gold has reached a fever pitch, breaking its record price almost forty times this year. Gold's most recent record highs saw the precious metal soaring to over $2,750 per ounce.

Gold Prices Hit Record Highs: Is It Time to Buy or Take Profits?

Gold price has gone parabolic, rising for five consecutive days, and reaching a new all-time high of $2,730. It has jumped by almost 32% this year, making it one of the best-performing commodities this year.

GLD vs IAU vs GDX: one is the best gold ETF to buy today

The rally in gold and gold miners, particularly the VanEck Gold Miners ETF, looks exhausted and may be due for a breather. The GDX ETF is highly concentrated, with Newmont Corporation making up 15% and the top five stocks comprising 44% of the fund. Momentum indicators for GDX and gold suggest potential intermediate tops, with RSI and PPO showing signs of weakening.

GDX: Too Late To Chase This Rally In Gold Miners

Since 2020, I've maintained a generally bullish stance on gold and silver, which I view as key hedges against growing systemic monetary system risks. These risks have escalated this year due to the recent devaluation of the Chinese Yuan and China's extreme economic measures, which have encouraged its population to buy gold and avoid real estate. Gold may be in a bubble today due to excess demand from China. However, its price is reasonable if the Federal Reserve makes a significant recessionary dovish pivot.

Gold ETFs are leading in flows across commodity funds as investors prepare for the shifting economic regime. The precious metal's prices reached an all-time high on Thursday following the Federal Reserve having cut interest rates by a half percentage point.

Commodity ETF Flows: All That Glitters Is Gold

Gold is back in the spotlight, and eyes are on the Fed. As the U.S. Federal Reserve prepares for what could be an aggressive rate cut, gold ETFs, especially the gold-bullion tracking ETFs such as the SPDR Gold Trust GLD and the iShares Gold Trust IAU, are riding the wave.

The VanEck Gold Miners ETF is up 24% YTD, driven by rising gold prices due to geopolitical tensions, central bank buying, and falling interest rates. Central banks' increased gold purchases, geopolitical instability, and potential interest rate cuts create a favorable environment for sustained gold price increases. Investing in GDX offers exposure to gold miners, which can amplify profits as gold prices rise, providing diversification and reduced risk.

Gold Miners (GDX) Rally As Gold Trades Over $2500 per Ounce

GDX performance has lagged behind the price of Gold. GDX has also underperformed its top holdings. The current portfolio has a consensus upside potential of 12% and is valued at 10x PE or 0.4 PEG.

GDX: Better Off With Gold

GDX has underperformed the S&P 500, but there are important caveats when judging short-term performance. Gold miners margins are now in a very good position to improve through the rest of 2024. Topline growth is also expected to remain high, while valuations do not seem to reflect that.

Important Lessons Learned From My Latest Investing Mistakes

For much of gold's gains earlier this year, miners have lagged. But that scenario has changed in earnest.

Gold Miners Could Be Positioned for Long-Term Gains

The VanEck Gold Miners ETF has outperformed the S&P 500, but performance relative to the price of gold is not up to par. After years of increasing costs, it appears that in 2024 we could finally see certain cost items coming under control. Although the overall risk for equities is now quite high, the GDX ETF is in a good position to outperform both the S&P 500 and the GLD.
