Northern Star Resources Ltd's stock soared 5.95% during intraday trading on Friday, marking a significant upward movement for the Australian gold miner.
The surge in Northern Star's share price is attributed to a jump in gold bullion prices. According to market reports, bullion prices strengthened after U.S. President Donald Trump called off planned military strikes on Iran, which eased market fears of oil-driven inflation and elevated interest rates. This development positively impacted Australian gold stocks broadly, with the sector eyeing its best performance in over two months.
