Gold ($US/oz)

Gold and its respective miners are enduring a year to forget after promising so much in January when the precious metal spiked above US$5,500, and cab drivers were talking about the likes of gold like they did stocks back in the 1980’s - just before the crash! The US-Iran War has been bad news for precious metals, supporting the $US and yields, reducing the appeal of Gold.

Chart of the Week – VanEck Gold Miners ETF (GDX US) – Part 2

This morning we’ve again used the US gold ETF as it saw and reacted to the court’s decision to block Trumps tariffs on Friday night. The advance by the precious metals and GDX ETF fits our current roadmap but we reiterate MM would not be chasing a breakout to new highs.

VanEck Gold Miners ETF (GDX) $141.00

The GDX ETF holds global miners, including Australian names. Its largest holding is Newmont, which tumbled to fresh 4-week lows overnight as forced liquidation gathered momentum, albeit without the steroids controlling silver and Bitcoin. We can see the GDX ETF testing the nerves of investors, seeing no reason to be a hero in the short term, with selling gathering, as opposed to losing momentum.

VanEck Gold Miners ETF (GDX) $165.95

Unlike copper stocks, gold names haven’t run ahead of the underlying precious metal. In 2026, the GFDX ETF has advanced +28%, dancing almost in sync with the precious metal.

VanEck Gold Miners ETF (GDX) $122.24

We almost began with gold this morning — after all, precious metals have dominated headlines in recent months — but lithium has taken centre stage of late. In October, the precious metals market underwent a major shakeout, clearing out many weak longs and speculative positions as the crowded trade unwound in a classic panic. In a single session, spot gold plunged as much as 6.3%, its sharpest one-day fall in over a decade, while spot silver tumbled 8.7%, despite no specific catalyst.
