Market Focus08-12

On August 12, Anglogold Ashanti rose 3.59% in regular trading, trading at $99.2/share, with turnover of approximately $42.92 million. The rally was driven by a strong breakout in international gold prices following a sharp miss in US July non-farm payroll data.

Spot gold surged to approximately $4,371, posting a weekly gain of nearly 7%, lifting the broader gold mining sector. Within the Gold sector, Newmont Mining gained 1.31%, Barrick Mining Corporation rose 2.06%, Agnico Eagle Mines advanced 2.52%, Coeur Mining added 1.64%, and Gold Fields climbed 3.8%.

On the company level, Anglogold Ashanti reported Q2 gold income of $3.03 billion, up 25.7% year-over-year, though headline EPS of $1.98 came in below the analyst consensus of $2.38. The company maintained its full-year production, cost, and capital expenditure guidance unchanged, and indicated that unit costs are expected to decline in the second half as production volumes increase. Additionally, the company has proposed a $2 billion share buyback program, which was put to shareholder vote in July.
