How to Play the Gold Rush With ETFs

Gold prices on a roller-coaster ride as trade fears lift safe-haven demand, while easing tensions and rising risk appetite affect the metal.

DUST: Good For Volatility-Seekers, But Not An Investment

The Direxion Daily Gold Miners Index Bear 2X Shares ETF is designed for short-term traders to exploit gold price pullbacks, but not suitable for long-term bearish bets. The recent pullback in gold prices may be partly attributable to new production coming online from Artemis Gold's Blackwater property and Sierra Madre's Coloso project. Despite short-term pullbacks, I remain bullish on gold long-term and rate DUST as a Hold, suitable only for risk-seeking, short-term traders.

DUST: Inverse Exposure If Bearish On Gold Miners

Direxion Daily Gold Miners Index Bear 2X Shares ETF offers leveraged inverse exposure to gold miners, aiming for -200% daily returns of the NYSE Arca Gold Miners Index. The DUST ETF uses swaps and futures contracts instead of owning gold mining stocks, making it suitable for short-term bets against gold miners. High fees and daily resets make DUST risky for long-term holds, but it can be a useful hedge or speculative tool for tactical traders.

Upside or Downside, There Are Opportunities in Gold Miners

Gold prices are up 13% for the year, but different market experts are forecasting varying scenarios for the precious metal moving forward. Nonetheless, whether prices head up or down and regardless of how it effects miners, traders can play the moves with leveraged exchange traded funds (ETFs).
