Movement Alert|MicroSectors Gold Miners 3x Leveraged ETN Falls 11.42% in Regular Trading, Fed Rate Hike Expectations and CPI Data Weigh on Gold Prices

Market Focus
Sep 14

On September 14, MicroSectors Gold Miners 3x Leveraged ETN fell 11.42% in regular trading, trading at $131.80/share, with turnover of $82.17 million. The decline deepened from an earlier pre-market drop of 8.27%, as bearish momentum intensified throughout the session.

On the news front, the previously released U.S. August PPI came in at 5.4% year-over-year, exceeding market expectations, while August core CPI rose 0.3% month-over-month versus the 0.2% consensus. The hotter-than-expected inflation data pushed the market-implied probability of a Fed rate hike at the September 17 FOMC meeting to approximately 60%, with traders earlier in the week pricing the probability as high as 90%. Rising real interest rates exerted significant downward pressure on precious metals, with spot gold having briefly breached the $4,300/oz level in recent sessions. TD Securities warned that if gold fails to hold key support levels, selling could accelerate further.

As a triple-leveraged product tracking gold miners, the ETN amplifies underlying sector losses by a factor of three, resulting in substantially magnified declines. This stands in stark contrast to the product's 8.85% intraday gain recorded just days earlier on September 11, when bullish calls from Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan and record ETF inflows had briefly supported sentiment.
