Global X Gold Explorers ETF has outperformed VanEck Gold Miners ETF and VanEck Junior Gold Miners ETF in 2025, rising 169% year-to-date amid a strong gold bull market. GOEX offers high momentum but carries elevated risk, lower dividend, and higher expense ratios compared to GDX and GDXJ. Unlike leveraged products, GOEX avoids time decay and benefits from the inherent leverage of gold exploration and mining equities.
GOEX has surged about 100% from its 52-week low, thanks to gold's safe-haven demand, central bank buying and dollar weakness.
For investors seeking momentum, Global X Gold Explorers ETF GOEX is probably on the radar. The fund just hit a 52-week high and has moved up 45% from its 52-week low of $26.39 per share.
The Fed minutes infused some optimism as most officials favored a September rate cut if inflation continued to cool. Sector ETFs, which are the major beneficiaries of a rate cut, rallied to new 52-week highs.
Wall Street registered the best week of the year for major indexes.
