On July 16, Zijin Gold International rose 3.53% in regular trading, trading at approximately 103.3 HKD/share, with turnover of 111 million HKD. The rebound comes after consecutive sessions of pressure driven by multiple investment bank downgrades.

On the news front, the broader gold sector strengthened today, with Lingbao Gold up 3.87%, Shandong Gold up 2.76%, Zijin Mining up 2.45%, Zhaojin Mining up 1.77%, and China Gold International up 1.47%, collectively lifting sentiment in the space. The stock had previously been weighed down after Bank of America Securities cut its target price from 158 HKD to 140 HKD and reduced its full-year net profit forecast by 6% to USD 3 billion, citing higher unit cost assumptions. BOCI also maintained a Hold rating, noting Q2 earnings declined 27% quarter-over-quarter to approximately USD 593 million despite gold prices falling only 7% QoQ and production rising 1%, implying rising unit costs.
