GDX (VanEck Gold Miners ETF) trades at $90.96, up 0.52% with a bullish technical signal from moving averages but overbought RSI readings. The ETF benefits from gold's seven-week rally to near $4,300/oz, though mining stocks have lagged the metal's gains.

Gold miners offer leveraged exposure to rising gold prices with attractive valuations, but face volatility risks.

Key risks include gold price sensitivity, mining operational challenges, and competition from physical gold ETFs with lower expense ratios.
