Market Focus08-19 21:38

On August 19, Anglogold Ashanti rose 5.83% in regular trading, trading at $103.675/share, with turnover of $30.24 million, as the gold sector staged a broad rally alongside spot gold prices holding firmly above the $4,400 level.

On the news front, gold prices stabilized above $4,400 per ounce, supported by global central banks' Q2 net gold purchases of 289 tonnes — a 62% year-over-year surge — providing structural support for the precious metal. At the company level, Anglogold Ashanti's Q2 results released on July 31 showed gold income rising 25.7% year-over-year to $3.03 billion, with earnings per share of $1.98, up 58.4% from the prior year. The company maintained its full-year production and cost guidance unchanged and expects unit costs to decline in the second half as output ramps up. Additionally, a $2 billion share repurchase program has been approved at its shareholder meeting, further bolstering investor confidence.

Within the Gold sector, peers posted strong gains: Coeur Mining up 7.35%, Newmont Mining up 6.85%, Kinross up 6.19%, Agnico Eagle Mines up 6.12%, and Barrick Mining up 5.65%.
