On August 26, Anglogold Ashanti fell 3.06% in pre-market trading, trading at $119.42/share, with turnover of $627,600. The decline came amid a broader selloff in gold mining stocks as spot gold prices retreated after hitting a three-month high.

Gold prices pulled back from near the $4,700/oz level after technical indicators showed overbought conditions, triggering profit-taking among investors. Spot gold fell 0.35% to $4,638.28/oz after previously surging approximately 15% this month. Analysts noted the adjustment was driven by profit-taking following rapid gains rather than a shift in the macro backdrop, as the US dollar and Treasury yields remained subdued while fiscal concerns continued to provide underlying support for bullion.

Within the Gold sector, stocks were broadly under pressure. Among individual stocks, Newmont Mining down 1.39%, Coeur Mining down 1.3%, Agnico Eagle Mines down 1.39%, Barrick Mining down 0.97%, Wheaton Precious Metals down 1.54%. Anglogold Ashanti, which had surged nearly 45% over the prior month, saw heavier selling pressure as leveraged gains faced unwinding risk ahead of key US economic data releases this week.
