NUGT is trading 2.54% up in pre-market as gold stabilized overnight following the August 26 selloff.
- July headline PCE inflation rose 3.7% year over year, lifting Treasury yields and initially pressuring non-yielding bullion; spot gold subsequently steadied, while December gold futures were recently higher.
- The move appears sector-driven rather than company-specific, with leveraged gold-miner exposure amplifying goldβs overnight rebound.
- Broader equity futures are also higher, supporting risk sentiment, although elevated yields and Fridayβs Jackson Hole focus remain risks.
