On September 23, Barrick Mining Corporation fell 3.29% in regular trading, trading at $42.43/share, with turnover of approximately $30.69 million, as the broader gold sector came under significant selling pressure.
The decline came amid continued hawkish rhetoric from the Federal Reserve. The Fed recently raised rates to 3.75%-4.00%, with Chair Wosh reinforcing expectations of further tightening, stating the central bank would not hesitate to act if warranted. Spot gold retreated sharply from its August highs near $4,700/oz to trade around $4,300/oz, with the stronger dollar raising the cost of gold for overseas buyers and diminishing the appeal of non-yielding bullion. Analysts noted that under the current rate-priority market pricing regime, traditional safe-haven support for gold has been temporarily sidelined.
Within the Gold sector, individual stocks declined broadly: Equinox Gold Corp. fell 4.94%, AngloGold Ashanti fell 4.82%, Coeur Mining fell 4.34%, Agnico Eagle Mines fell 4.21%, and Newmont Mining fell 3.74%.
