Hello! This is MarketWatch reporter Isabel Wang bringing you this week's ETF Wrap. After a decade of seemingly never-ending fee-cutting wars, ETF issuers raised their fees in 2023 as the landscape evolved beyond cheap index-tracking funds.

ETF issuers defied investor expectations by raising fees in 2023. They may have to keep doing it.

Growing concerns about the Federal Reserve keeping interest rates higher for longer have caused a sell-off in high yield stocks. However, we see an excellent opportunity emerging to buy high quality, high yield stocks on sale. We share some of our top picks of the moment.

5-8% Yields: The More They Drop, The More I Buy

That's because gold market timers are neither excessively optimistic (which would suggest gold would break down) nor excessively pessimistic (which would suggest gold would break out to the upside).

Gold's rally has nearly run its course

Gold prices are influenced by the path of real interest rates and the value of the US dollar, both of which have pressured the precious metal lately. Upcoming expected interest rate cuts by the US Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank may benefit gold, but the path higher may be rocky. The VanEck Gold Miners ETF has a fair valuation but an unimpressive technical setup, and I highlight key price levels to watch with the FOMC meeting on tap.

GDX: Gold Miners Consolidating Ahead Of The Fed, Real Yields Inch Up

The past six months saw gold's price rise more than 5%, and it crossed the $2,000 threshold. Additionally, in late 2023 several firms reported that central banks' gold purchases were closing in on all-time highs.

The case for owning gold miners has strengthened considerably over the past year due to the lower downside risk from current levels. GDX does a good job at reducing certain idiosyncratic risks, but the large exposure to individual names should be taken into account. Macroeconomic factors, such as the risk of a recession and expanding U.S. deficits, could support the price of gold in 2024.

Metal miners are starting to break out of long-term bases, with precious metals showing the highest potential for outperformance. The immediate catalyst for gold miners to rise is the price of spot gold, which stands on the cusp of breaking out to new highs against the USD. Given the strength in spot gold, I think there is a lot of catch-up potential in gold miners versus the metal miner space. My focus is on the GDX ETF.

The German stock market has gone parabolic in an exceptionally strong move, after meandering over the summer months with sub-par economic releases. The surface reason for this division is that the vast majority of German earnings are not driven by the domestic economy but by their multinational operations.
