On August 7, Gold Fields rose 5.01% in pre-market trading, trading at $39.2/share, with turnover of $241,500.
On the news front, the gold sector continues to strengthen broadly, with significant sector linkage. Among peers, Coeur Mining rose 4.66%, Equinox Gold rose 3.35%, Newmont Mining rose 3.11%, Barrick Mining rose 3.09%, and Agnico Eagle Mines rose 2.71%. The rally has been supported by easing inflation concerns as markets anticipate a potential US-Iran interim agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, which has led traders to reduce bets on further Fed rate hikes.

Its most recent quarter delivered revenue of $4.86 billion, representing 67.6% year-over-year growth, with full-year gold equivalent production guidance maintained at 2.4 to 2.6 million ounces.
