Description: GDX Gold Miners December 19, 2025
The VanEck Gold Miners ETF (NYSE ARCA:GDX) tracks a modified-cap-weighted, float-adjusted index of publicly traded gold and silver mining companies, allocating at least 80 % of its assets to the benchmark constituents. Because the fund is classified as non-diversified, its performance is tightly linked to the mining sector’s fortunes rather than broader market movements.
Key metrics (as of the latest filing) include an expense ratio of 0.52 % and assets under management of roughly $12 billion, making GDX one of the largest pure-play precious-metal equity ETFs. The fund’s top holdings are typically the “big-three” miners-Newmont, Barrick, and Franco-Nevada-accounting for over 30 % of total weight, which amplifies exposure to their operational cost structures and geopolitical risk profiles.
Sector drivers that materially affect GDX’s returns are (1) the spot price of gold, which has a long-run correlation of about 0.85 with the ETF; (2) mine-level cash-cost trends, where a 10 % rise in average all-in sustaining costs historically depresses the index by roughly 4 %; and (3) macro-economic factors such as real-interest-rate movements and US dollar strength, which influence investor demand for safe-haven assets.
