On the news front, the U.S. Federal Reserve announced a 25-basis-point rate hike on September 16, lifting the federal funds rate to 3.75%-4.00%, marking the first rate increase in three years. Following the decision, spot gold plunged from a pre-decision high of $4,367 to $4,234, hitting a new low since August 7, and closed at $4,264/oz, down over 1% on the day. The sharp pullback in gold prices directly weighed on the gold mining sector.
Within the Gold sector, the decline was broad-based. Among individual stocks, SD GOLD fell 5.21%, LINGBAO GOLD fell 4.94%, ZHAOJIN MINING fell 4.52%, ZIJIN GOLD INTL fell 4.46%, and CHINAGOLDINTL fell 4.29%.
