Zijin Mining Group's stock experienced a significant intraday decline, plummeting 5.05% during Thursday's trading session.
The drop aligns with broader weakness in gold-related stocks as spot gold prices briefly fell below the $4,500 level. Ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, involving the US, Israel, and Iran, continue to create market uncertainty, with reports indicating Tehran has rejected a US peace proposal and military offensives persist.
Analysts note that gold prices are expected to remain volatile in the near term, with the primary catalyst for a rebound being an easing of geopolitical conflict. The persistent risks have contributed to declining sentiment toward gold mining stocks like Zijin Mining during the session.
