GDXU is trading at $91.26, down 9.36%, as Fed rate-hike concerns weigh on gold.

  • Gold fell for a third straight session as investors awaited the September CPI report.
  • Elevated yields and a firm dollar added pressure to non-yielding bullion. Weakness in gold-miner shares was amplified by GDXU’s 3× leverage.
  • The broader equity market was mixed, rather than uniformly lower.
