On September 28, Agnico Eagle Mines fell 5.9% in regular trading, trading at $181.59/share, with turnover of $44.67 million. The decline was driven by a sharp escalation in Federal Reserve rate hike expectations that broadly pressured gold prices and mining equities.

Multiple Fed officials recently delivered hawkish remarks, warning that inflation remains persistently elevated and that the current policy stance may be insufficient to bring prices back to the 2% target. According to CME data, the probability of a 25-basis-point hike at the October meeting has risen to 69.7%, while the probability of a cumulative 50-basis-point increase by December has reached 54.8%. The strengthened tightening outlook directly suppressed gold prices and weighed heavily on the broader mining sector.

The Gold sector where Agnico Eagle Mines belongs exhibited a broad sell-off. Among individual stocks, Gold Fields fell 13.38%, ANGLOGOLD ASHANTI PLC fell 6.92%, Coeur Mining fell 6.15%, Newmont Mining fell 5.43%, and Barrick Mining Corporation fell 5.03%.
