Gold Miners ETF (GDX) Seeks Higher Lows Amid Bullish Producer Positioning
The VanEck Gold Miners ETF (GDX) has bounced back from around $72 support and is making higher lows, creating a favorable risk-reward setup for investors.
Gold miners fell more sharply than gold itself after the peak, but their high-beta exposure means that any sustained rally could quickly close the gap between them.
Producer positioning is turning bullish: miners are rebuilding long exposure while increasing hedges, indicating they expect higher gold prices.
GDX's covered holdings are projected to deliver 14% EPS growth next year at around 10.5x earnings, making it a buyable opportunity.
