On September 22, CHINAGOLDINTL fell 3.07% in regular trading, trading at HK$227.2/share, with turnover of HK$332 million. The decline came amid broad-based selling pressure across the gold mining sector following the Federal Reserve's latest rate hike.
On the news front, the Fed's rate hike has now been fully implemented, while expectations for an additional hike within the year continue to build. The 10-year US Treasury yield remains elevated and the US Dollar Index has broken above the 100 level, creating a rising real interest rate environment that continues to suppress gold prices. Spot gold has been under sustained pressure in recent sessions, with the precious metal retreating sharply from levels above $4,400/oz seen in early September.
Within the Gold sector, the entire board traded lower. Among individual stocks, ZIJIN GOLD INTL fell 4.65%, LINGBAO GOLD fell 4.74%, SD GOLD fell 3.12%, ZHAOJIN MINING fell 3.02%, and CHIFENG GOLD fell 1.31%. Institutional views suggest that while gold prices face near-term valuation pressure from Fed policy expectations, the medium-term outlook need not be overly pessimistic, with terminal demand expected to recover on the margin as broader conditions stabilize.
