On June 25, Shandong Gold Mining fell 5.79% in regular trading, trading at HK$17.95/share, with turnover of HK$49.17 million. The decline came amid intensifying selling pressure across the gold sector as spot gold broke below the $4,100/oz level and Shanghai gold futures lost the 900 yuan/gram threshold.
On the macro front, US May CPI came in at 4.2% year-over-year, fueling aggressive Fed rate hike expectations, with the probability of a December hike rising to 72%. The US dollar surged to a one-year high, continuously suppressing the valuation of non-yielding assets like gold. Wall Street investment banks collectively downgraded gold price targets, with Goldman Sachs cutting its year-end forecast to $4,900/oz and Bank of America predicting three rate hikes within the year. Goldman Sachs further expects no rate cuts before 2027, reinforcing the higher-for-longer narrative that weighs on precious metals.
Within the Gold sector, the broad selloff saw Lingbao Gold down 7.46%, Zhaojin Mining down 7.02%, Zijin Gold International down 5.80%, Chifeng Gold down 5.04%, and Zijin Mining down 4.82%, with multiple stocks hitting new year-to-date lows.
