On August 20, Kinross rose 5.01% in regular trading, trading at $31.345/share, with turnover of $233 million. The rally came as gold prices surged past the $4,500/oz level following a major US fiscal policy shift that weakened the dollar and Treasury yields.
On the news front, the US Treasury announced an expansion of its 10-30 year bond buyback program from $2 billion to $4 billion, at least doubling the scale. This move triggered a rapid decline in long-end Treasury yields and pushed the US dollar index to multi-month lows, directly catalyzing New York gold futures to jump 4.27% to $4,519.35/oz in a single session. Gold mining stocks, which carry 2-3x operational leverage to the gold price, amplified the move broadly.
Within the Gold sector, individual stocks posted broad gains: Anglogold Ashanti up 5.28%, Barrick Mining Corporation up 2.85%, Newmont Mining up 2.37%, Agnico Eagle Mines up 1.22%, and Coeur Mining up 0.67%. Kinross has gained 32.71% over the past month, supported by sustained central bank gold purchases of 289 tonnes in Q2 and structural demand tailwinds.
