Best/Worst Daily ETF Returns: GDXJ Drops 4.03%

By IndexUniverse July 11, 2012, 11:00:00 AM EDT

The Market Vectors Junior Gold Miners ETF (NYSEArca:GDXJ) was one of the worst-performing funds Tuesday, July 10, dropping 4.03 percent as the broad stock market gave way to concerns over Europe's debt crisis and a flurry of less-than-exciting second-quarter corporate earnings reports.

The Dow Jones industrial average dropped 83.17 points, or 0.7 percent, to close at 12,653.12. Comex gold futures for August delivery also dropped 0.2 percent on the day.

Other ETFs to make the day's bottom performers' list included the Global X Gold Explorers ETF (NYSEArca:GLDX) and the Global X Silver Miners ETF (NYSEArca:SIL), each giving up more than 3.7 percent Tuesday.

On the flip side, the PowerShares DB Commodity Long ETN (NYSEArca:DPU) and the iPath Pure Beta Agriculture ETN (NYSEArca:DIRT) were some of the highest-returning funds, buoyed by growing concerns over the U.S. grains and oilseeds crops.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture Tuesday cut its corn crop yield projection by 12 percent, citing the ongoing drought in much of the continental U.S. as the culprit for the decline in output.

DPU rallied 7.6 percent Tuesday and DIRT tagged on 2.25 percent in gains.
