XGD.TO is trading at $47.85 (-3.41%) as gold-mining equities sell off more sharply than physical bullion.

  • The decline is driven by sector-wide weakness rather than company-specific catalysts, as the ETF tracks the gold-miner index rather than physical gold prices.
  • Broader market pressure from a declining NASDAQ and S&P 500 is further weighing on risk assets and cyclical sectors.
