Gold stocks rise as gold price hits record after U.S. CPI; Newmont, Agnico gain
New York, January 13, 2026, 13:56 EST — Regular session Gold shares edged higher in U.S. afternoon trading Tuesday as the gold price hit a fresh record, boosted by softer U.S. inflation data that kept hopes for Federal Reserve rate cuts alive. Newmont climbed 0.9% to $113.94, Agnico Eagle jumped 2.8% to $199.82, and the VanEck Gold Miners ETF added 1.3%. Spot gold stood at $4,591.49 an ounce at 1:31 p.m. ET, after earlier touching $4,634.33. “The reason for the slightly positive tone… was the benign CPI data,” said David Meger, director of metals trading at High Ridge Futures.
