On July 23, Wheaton Precious Metals fell 3.31% in pre-market trading, trading at $108.42/share, with turnover of $746,000. The decline came amid broad weakness across the gold mining sector, with the precious metals complex continuing to face downward pressure from an extended gold price correction.

Gold prices have fallen approximately 22% since the outbreak of the Iran conflict in late February, a move that runs counter to traditional safe-haven logic. Analysts attribute the decline to shifting expectations around Federal Reserve policy, with markets currently pricing in roughly a 50% probability of a rate hike in September. The combination of higher real interest rates and policy uncertainty has weighed heavily on gold and related equities. However, some strategists note that technical indicators suggest gold has reached extreme oversold territory, with futures market long positions at their lowest since 2018, and that a cyclical bottom could form before September.

Within the Gold sector, stocks declined broadly. Among individual names, Coeur Mining fell 4.29%, Barrick Mining Corporation fell 2.69%, Newmont Mining fell 2.66%, Agnico Eagle Mines fell 2.31%, and Franco-Nevada fell 1.92%.
