On September 4, Anglogold Ashanti fell 3.38% in pre-market trading, at $108.07/share, with turnover of $1.2149 million. The gold mining sector came under broad selling pressure, giving back a significant portion of the prior session's gains.
On the news front, spot gold failed to hold above the key $4,500/oz level and pulled back, with the U.S. dollar recovering modestly. The retreat comes amid lingering uncertainty over the Federal Reserve's September policy decision. While Fed Governor Waller's remarks on September 3 — indicating a preference to hold rates steady if inflation data cooperates — had briefly cooled rate-hike expectations and lifted gold stocks, the market remains on edge ahead of the upcoming August CPI release, which Waller described as pivotal for his policy stance. The probability of a September rate hike currently hovers around 50%, keeping precious metals vulnerable to further swings.
Within the Gold sector, the overall sector is under pressure. Among individual stocks, Coeur Mining down 4.34%, Agnico Eagle Mines down 3.21%, Newmont Mining down 3.17%, Barrick Mining Corporation down 2.93%, Wheaton Precious Metals down 2.60%.
