On August 22, Barrick Mining Corporation rose 3.06% in regular trading, trading at $47.645/share, with turnover of $265 million. The move was driven by continued gold price strength, JPMorgan's recent target price upgrade to $52, and broad-based momentum across the gold mining sector.
On the macro front, gold prices have maintained strength after breaking through $4,425, with Deutsche Bank targeting a year-end range of $4,700-$5,100 per ounce, citing central bank purchases at record highs and renewed global ETF inflows. The Bank of Korea's first gold ETF purchase in 13 years further reinforced the global gold-buying narrative.
At the company level, Barrick reported Q2 revenue of $5.292 billion, up 44% year-over-year, with net income rising 50%. The company reached a $1.95 billion settlement with Newmont resolving all Nevada Gold Mines disputes, clearing a key obstacle for its planned North American gold assets IPO, with management stating the offering is \"very close.\" Within the gold sector, AngloGold Ashanti rose 5.28%, Newmont Mining gained 3.06%, and Agnico Eagle Mines added 2.41%.
