On September 16, Hecla Mining fell 5.03% in regular trading, trading at $17.74 per share, with turnover of $5.81 billion.
On the news front, this week marks a Super Central Bank Week. The CME FedWatch tool shows that the probability of a September rate hike has surged to 87%, as stronger-than-expected U.S. August CPI data combined with oil prices approaching a four-month high have driven real interest rate expectations higher. The rising rate outlook has placed significant pressure on non-yielding assets, with spot silver retreating to around $63 per ounce. As a core silver mining stock, Hecla Mining was notably dragged down by sector-wide weakness.
Across the Silver sector, peers declined broadly. Among individual stocks, Vizsla Silver fell 3.99%, Silvercorp Metals fell 3.16%, First Majestic Silver fell 3.06%, Endeavour Silver fell 2.70%, and Aya Gold & Silver fell 1.84%.
