On September 14, Anglogold Ashanti fell 3.28% in pre-market trading, trading at 100.9 USD/share, with turnover of approximately 737,400 USD. The decline comes as the broader gold mining sector faces continued selling pressure, compounded by a recent BMO Capital downgrade that continues to weigh on sentiment.
On September 10, BMO Capital downgraded Anglogold Ashanti from outperform to market perform, setting a price target of 115 USD — notably below the analyst consensus mean target of 135.59 USD and the average overweight rating tracked by FactSet. The stock fell nearly 4% on that session and has struggled to recover since. Trading volume on the day of the downgrade exceeded 1.5 million shares, below the daily average of approximately 3.2 million, suggesting cautious participation.
Within the Gold sector, the overall trend remains negative. Among individual stocks, Coeur Mining fell 2.24%, Newmont Mining fell 1.4%, Barrick Mining Corporation fell 1.02%, Kinross fell 1.03%, and Agnico Eagle Mines fell 0.7%.
