These were last week’s top performing leveraged and inverse ETFs. Note that because of leverage, these kinds of funds can move quickly. Always do your homework.1. BITX – 2X Bitcoin Strategy ETF BITX, which seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to two times the excess return of the S&P CME Bitcoin Futures Daily Roll Index, topped the leveraged ETFs’ list driven by price rally on ETF hype and Fed rate cut hopes. 2. GDXU – MicroSectors Gold Miners 3X Leveraged ETN GDXU is a leveraged equity fund that provides 3x exposure to an index comprised of two of the largest gold miners’ ETFs, viz VanEck Gold Miners ETF (GDX) and VanEck Junior Gold Miners ETF (GDXJ), that invest in the global gold mining industry. GDXU returned over ~15% last week as investors eye gold ahead of US inflation data. 3. NUGT – Direxion Daily Gold Miners Index Bull 2x Shares Another gold ETF, NUGT seeks daily investment results of 200% of the performance of the NYSE Arca Gold Miners Index, ranked among the top levered ETFs. The ETF gained more than 11% in the last week. 4. JNUG – Direxion Daily Junior Gold Miners Index Bull 2x Shares JNUG seeks daily investment results of 200% of the performance of the MVIS Global Junior Gold Miners Index. The index tracks the performance of foreign and domestic companies engaging in gold and silver mining. JNUG was another precious metals candidate on the top-performing levered/ inverse ETFs list returning almost ~11% last week as gold ascends with inflation data looming and Fed rate cut bets solidifying. 5. KOLD – ProShares UltraShort Bloomberg Natural Gas KOLD, which offers 2x daily inverse leveraged exposure to natural gas, was one of the contenders on the list of top performing levered/ inverse ETFs returning ~10% last week, as natural gas prices struggle due to high production, full storage, and weak demand. 6. UTSL – Direxion Daily Utilities Bull 3X Shares UTSL which provides daily 3x exposure to an index of utility companies in the U.S. was another candidate on the top performing levered/ inverse ETFs list as the utilities sector gained by more than 2% in the last five days as Fed rate cut bets firms. 7.
