Market Focus07-24

On July 24, SD GOLD fell 3.74% in regular trading, trading at 19.1 HKD/share, with turnover of 17.232 million HKD.

On the news front, a proposed US-Iran 10-day ceasefire continued to gain traction, boosting market expectations for de-escalation of geopolitical conflicts. Safe-haven funds that had previously flowed into gold showed signs of retreat, with the war premium unwinding and pressuring gold prices. Simultaneously, Fed Chair Wosh maintained a hawkish zero-tolerance stance on elevated inflation, with the swap market now pricing in at least one rate hike by year-end, pushing real rates higher and raising the opportunity cost of holding gold.

The gold sector came under broad selling pressure. Within the Gold sector, LINGBAO GOLD fell 5.53%, CHINAGOLDINTL fell 5.48%, CHIFENG GOLD fell 5.12%, ZIJIN GOLD INTL fell 4.85%, and ZIJIN MINING fell 3.94%.
