Geopolitical Relief Triggers Gold Selloff: Prices Dip Below $2,350 Mark, Mining Stocks Hit Hard
Portfolio Pulse from Piero Cingari
Gold prices fell 2.7% to below $2,350, and silver dropped 5.1%, affecting mining stocks significantly. The VanEck Gold Miners ETF (GDX) and Global X Silver Miners ETF (SIL) saw declines of 4.3% and over 3%, respectively. Major mining companies like Aya Gold & Silver Inc. (AYA), AngloGold Ashanti plc (AU), and Newmont Corporation (NEM) experienced notable drops in their stock prices. The market's shift is attributed to reduced geopolitical risks and anticipation of key U.S. economic data releases.
