Leveraged precious metals ETFs surged sharply, with the Direxion Daily Gold Miners Bull 2X Shares (NUGT) up 14.46% and ProShares Ultra Silver (AGQ) rising 9.39%, driven by gold and silver prices climbing 4-5%.

Despite today's gains, these leveraged ETFs remain deeply negative year-to-date due to their daily reset and volatility decay effects. Kinross Gold also reported strong quarterly results, highlighting robust margins amid rising gold prices. These moves illustrate how leveraged ETFs amplify short-term metal price changes but can suffer from compounding losses over time.
