On September 3, MicroSectors Gold Miners 3x Leveraged ETN rose 8.33% in pre-market trading, trading at approximately $167.89 per share, with turnover of $17.68 million. The product is a triple-leveraged bullish ETN on gold mining stocks and had previously plunged over 20% following hawkish remarks from the Federal Reserve.
On the news front, U.S. August ADP private payrolls came in at just 38,000, well below the market expectation of 47,000 and the lowest since January, with contraction in manufacturing and professional business services positions signaling structural labor market weakening. The soft employment reading eased market fears of a September rate hike, with the implied probability retreating from a post-Jackson Hole peak of roughly 70% to 62.3%. The U.S. dollar and Treasury yields pulled back in tandem from recent highs, while spot gold staged a sharp rebound from an intraday low near $4,282, briefly reclaiming the $4,400 level.
The gold price recovery drove a broad rally in underlying mining stocks, with the triple-leveraged structure amplifying an approximate 3% gain in the underlying assets. Looking ahead, Friday's non-farm payrolls report is expected to serve as the key directional catalyst for rate hike expectations and gold prices.
