On August 7, Royal rose 5.42% in pre-market trading, trading at $229.0/share, with turnover of $720,500.

On the news front, spot gold continued to strengthen and climbed to a near seven-week high, touching $4,258.99/oz, primarily supported by declining U.S. Treasury yields and optimism around Iran nuclear agreement negotiations. The gold price rally broadly lifted the precious metals mining sector. As a precious metals streaming and royalty company, Royal directly benefits from rising gold prices. Additionally, global central banks net purchased 289 tons of gold in Q2, setting a record high for the period, providing medium-to-long-term support for gold prices.
