On September 17, Agnico Eagle Mines rose 3.19% in pre-market trading, trading at 202.3 USD/share, with turnover of $3.8231 million.
On the news front, the Federal Reserve announced a 25-basis-point rate hike early on September 17, lifting the federal funds rate target range to 3.75%–4.00%. CME data had previously shown market pricing for this hike had exceeded 92%, indicating the move was fully discounted. Institutions had noted that the rate hike expectations were thoroughly priced in, and as long as the Fed refrained from signaling a sustained tightening cycle, gold was poised for a bottom rebound — a classic case of bearish exhaustion upon the event materializing.
Within the Gold sector, the broader group rallied in tandem. Among individual stocks, Coeur Mining rose 3.7%, Wheaton Precious Metals rose 3.25%, Kinross rose 2.84%, Barrick Mining Corporation rose 2.82%, and Newmont Mining rose 2.66%.
Agnico Eagle Mines is Canada's largest mining company and the world's second-largest gold producer, with precious metals operations spanning Canada, Australia, Finland, and Mexico, along with multiple exploration and development project reserves.
