Gold Rises, Stocks Fall Ahead of Fed's Decision On Interest Rates: This 2X ETF Tracks Gold Miners And Is Poised For A Break Out
Portfolio Pulse from Melanie Schaffer
The Direxion Daily Gold Miners Index Bull 2X Shares (NYSE:NUGT) slid over 2% as the Federal Reserve began its monthly meeting. Analysts are mixed on the Fed's decision on interest rates, with Bank of America expecting a hold and Goldman Sachs predicting a pause followed by cuts in 2024. The ETF, which tracks several gold and silver mining companies, is trading in a possible bull flag pattern under the 50-day simple moving average (SMA). A break up could indicate a longer-term bull cycle. The ETF could rise towards the $36 mark if it breaks up from the flag on higher-than-average volume.
