On July 17, Shandong Gold Mining fell 3.01% in regular trading, trading at HKD 17.34/share, with turnover of HKD 36.16 million. The gold sector came under broad-based selling pressure as multiple Federal Reserve officials delivered hawkish signals in quick succession.

Fed Vice Chair Jefferson stated that rate hikes would be considered if inflation shows no near-term improvement. Kansas City Fed President Schmid described current inflation running at roughly twice the 2% target as concerning. Governor Waller had previously warned that near-term rate hikes should be on the table if core inflation prints resurface at elevated levels. The hawkish rhetoric reinforced expectations of tighter monetary policy, weighing heavily on precious metals valuations.

Within the Gold sector, stocks declined across the board. Chifeng Gold fell 6.58%, Zijin Gold International fell 6.52%, China Gold International fell 5.41%, Lingbao Gold fell 4.02%, and Zijin Mining fell 3.69%.
