About the vaneck gold miners etf price
GDX holds shares of large gold-mining companies, not gold. Miners' profits rise faster than the gold price when it climbs and fall faster when it drops, so GDX usually moves more than gold in both directions, and company-specific costs and risks also matter. The headline level is published only when two market feeds agree (Yahoo Finance and CNBC, with Google Finance as a tie-breaker). History is the daily close.
Frequently asked
- Does GDX track the gold price?
- Only loosely. GDX holds mining stocks, so it adds operating leverage, cost inflation, management and stock-market risk to the gold price. Compare the two on the gold vs gold miners page.
