On June 30, Shandong Gold Mining fell 3.04% at open, trading at HK$16.90 with turnover of HK$523,900. The decline came as spot gold remained below the key $4,000/oz psychological level, marking a seven-month low, while the entire gold sector faced broad selling pressure.
On the macro front, US May CPI rose to 4.2% year-on-year, with markets now pricing in three Fed rate hikes within the year. The strengthening US dollar continued to suppress valuations of non-yielding gold assets. Goldman Sachs cut its year-end gold price target to $4,900/oz, while Deutsche Bank slashed its target by up to 32%.
The gold sector saw widespread weakness, with Lingbao Gold down 5.16%, Chifeng Gold down 4.5%, Zijin Gold International down 4.03%, China Gold International down 3.33%, and Zijin Mining down 2.46%.
