The week ending July 22nd also saw a decline in unemployment, indicating the labor market's continued strength. This data suggests that the Federal Reserve has been successful in avoiding a recession, which is bearish for gold and gold miners.
Despite the drop, spot gold managed to hold above the 50-day simple moving average, raising the possibility of a potential rebound. When the sector turns bullish, investors may wish to take a position in the Sprott Gold Miners ETF (NYSE:SGDM), to gain exposure to several gold miners.
The fund tracks 30 larger-sized gold mining companies and corresponds to the total return performance of the Solactive Gold Miners Custom Factors Index. As of now, SGDM has total net assets of $257,956,220.39 and just 9,550,000 shares outstanding.
The three largest holdings within SGDM are Barrick Gold Corp (NYSE:GOLD), weighted at 11.04%, Franco-Nevada Corp (NYSE:FNV), weighted at 10.4% and Agnico Eagle Mines (NYSE:AEM), which is weighted at 9.73%.

The SGDM Chart: Mirroring spot gold, SGDM was dropping over 3% on Thursday, attempting to hold support above the 200-day simple moving average (SMA). The area acted as support between June 26 and July 10, when the ETF temporarily fell under the 200-day SMA before popping up above the area.
- The ETF was working to print a bearish kicker candlestick Thursday, which could indicate lower prices are on the horizon. If SGDM falls under the 200-day, bullish traders will want to see the ETF consolidate sideways under the area for a period of time.
- Bearish traders want to SGDM fall under the 200-day SMA on higher-than-average volume, which could accelerate a move to the downside.
- SGDM has resistance above at $26.51 and at $27.82 and below at $25.14 and at $23.65.
