On August 29, Pan American Silver fell 5.03% in regular trading, trading at $52.18/share, with turnover of $293 million.
On the news front, spot gold broke below the $4,600/oz level, putting broad pressure on the precious metals sector. The U.S. July core PCE came in at +3.3% year-over-year, in line with expectations, which significantly boosted market expectations for a Fed rate hike next month. Rising interest rate expectations weighed on precious metals valuations across the board. Within the Gold sector, Coeur Mining fell 5.63%, Agnico Eagle Mines fell 4.7%, Barrick Mining fell 4.02%, Newmont Mining fell 3.84%, and Wheaton Precious Metals fell 3.76%.
Adding to the pressure, Pan American Silver's Q2 earnings reported on August 12 showed EPS of $0.73, missing the analyst consensus estimate of $1.04 by 29.81%. Revenue of $1.124 billion also fell short of the $1.158 billion estimate. The fundamental weakness from the earnings miss may have amplified the stock's decline relative to sector peers.
