Market Focus06-02 09:49

On June 2, Zijin Gold International fell 3.24% in regular trading, trading at 123.8 HKD/share, with trading volume of 127 million HKD. The gold sector came under broad-based selling pressure.

On the news front, US April inflation data rose to a near three-year high, further reinforcing market expectations of a Fed rate hike this year. New Fed Chair Waller has released hawkish signals since taking office, with the CME FedWatch tool showing the probability of a 25-basis-point rate hike this year surging to 67.1%. The elevated rate environment continues to raise the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding gold, directly pressuring bullion prices and related equities.

Within the Gold sector, stocks declined broadly. Among individual stocks, Lingbao Gold fell 3.57%, Chifeng Gold fell 3.6%, Zhaojin Mining fell 2.76%, China Gold International fell 0.8%, and Zijin Mining fell 0.37%. Additionally, the company recently extended the outside date for its proposed CA$5.5 billion acquisition of Allied Gold to July 29, as certain key regulatory approvals have not yet been obtained.
