New York, Feb 24, 2026, 08:28 EST — Premarket
- AngloGold Ashanti jumped nearly 6% to close at $121.12 on Monday, just shy of its session high at $121.92.
- Gold eased back on Tuesday, giving up ground after Monday’s jump fueled by U.S. tariff news and a rush into safe-haven assets.
- Company put out a filing to fix a wrong date in its dividend tables, but the March schedule for cash payouts remains as before.
AngloGold Ashanti plc finished Monday’s session up roughly 6% at $121.12. The stock touched $121.92 earlier in the day, putting the gold miner close to the upper end of its current range right before the U.S. market opens Tuesday.
This shift is significant right now—bullion’s been jolted by every trade-policy headline, and miners usually exaggerate those moves instantly. Shares just surged, so traders are watching to see if buyers stick around as gold retreats and fresh catalysts line up.
Gold slipped over 1% Tuesday, retreating from its earlier three-week peak as a stronger dollar and profit-taking pushed prices lower, according to Reuters. “There was some profit taking,” said Zain Vawda, analyst at MarketPulse by OANDA, adding that the latest tariff news was also shaping sentiment in the short term.

Gold jumped over 1% on Monday, climbing to its highest level in three weeks. The move came after a U.S. Supreme Court decision on tariffs put pressure on the dollar and sparked a wave of safe-haven buying, according to a Reuters video report.
Late Monday, AngloGold put out a quick regulatory filing: the miner flagged an error in the year listed for its dividend declaration date tables in a previous short-form announcement, correcting it to 2026. No other details in the announcement were affected, the company said.
AngloGold’s investor page shows the New York Stock Exchange ex-dividend date and record date both falling on March 13, 2026. Payment’s set for March 27. (Ex-dividend marks when the stock no longer carries the upcoming payout.)
AngloGold posted full-year profit that nearly tripled last week, and spotlighted new reserves at its Arthur Gold Project in Nevada—part of the miner’s deeper shift into the Americas after moving its main listing to New York. Capital spending for Nevada came in at $3.6 billion, and the board signed off on a quarterly dividend of $1.73 a share. CEO Alberto Calderon described the Nevada discovery as among the most important U.S. greenfield finds of the century.
There’s a catch for the rally: should gold continue to fall thanks to a stronger dollar, or if trade tensions ease, those gains could vanish just as fast—and AngloGold is in the same boat. Major capex commitments have a way of shifting investor focus to what’s left for dividends when the cycle flips.
Traders now have their eyes on March 13, the record date and ex-dividend day, gauging whether bullion finds its footing as fresh tariff news continues to surface.
