Newmont tumbles as gold drops 4% and CME hikes metals margins

Newmont tumbles as gold drops 4% and CME hikes metals margins

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 14:25 ET — Regular session Shares of Newmont (NEM) fell 5.7% to $99.70 in afternoon trading, leading declines in major gold miners as gold prices slid more than 4% from record highs and traders unwound positions. The move matters because gold’s year-end surge has been one of 2025’s standout trades, pulling miners and precious-metals funds higher with it. A sharp reversal can force fast selling in a market that is already thin after the holidays. It also lands just as exchanges raise collateral demands, a common volatility brake that can push leveraged traders to cut

Freeport-McMoRan slips as copper futures retreat, dragging miners lower

Freeport-McMoRan slips as copper futures retreat, dragging miners lower

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 12:13 ET — Regular session Freeport-McMoRan shares fell about 2% on Monday, underperforming as copper futures pulled back from a sharp late-year run. The stock was down $1.07 at $51.97 at midday in New York. The move matters because Freeport’s earnings and cash flow tend to track copper prices, leaving the stock sensitive to day-to-day swings in the red metal. With copper volatility elevated heading into year-end, investors have been quick to fade rallies and lock in gains. Copper prices have been whipsawing as traders weigh supply disruptions and uncertainty over potential U.S. trade measures

Skeena Resources slips before the bell as gold, silver retreat from record highs

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 04:51 ET — Premarket Shares of Skeena Resources (SKE) slipped 1.8% to $24.97 in premarket trading on Monday, after the Canadian gold-silver developer finished Friday’s session up 3.8% at $25.42. StockAnalysis The early dip tracks a broader pullback in precious metals after a sharp year-end run that has lifted mining shares and related equities. Reuters That matters for Skeena because the company is still in the development stage, leaving its valuation closely tied to investor sentiment on gold and silver prices rather than operating cash flow.

Canada Stock Market Today (Dec. 24, 2025): TSX Slips From Record Highs in Holiday Trading as Miners Cool Off and the Loonie Firms

Canada Stock Market Today (Dec. 24, 2025): TSX Slips From Record Highs in Holiday Trading as Miners Cool Off and the Loonie Firms

Canada’s stock market ended Christmas Eve on a slightly weaker footing, with the S&P/TSX Composite Index easing back from this week’s record territory as profit-taking hit materials and mining names in a holiday-shortened sessionthat kept trading volumes light. The pullback was modest—but the day’s moves carried a clear year-end message: after a powerful run powered by precious metals, financials, and resource-linked momentum, investors appear increasingly selective about where they take risk into the final stretch of 2025 and the start of 2026. (Nasdaq) TSX market recap: A quiet Christmas Eve close, but still near 32,000 In a shortened session that wrapped up early for the holidays,

Dec. 19, 2025 Hecla Mining Company (NYSE: HL) is ending 2025 the way a silver bull market likes to end a year: loud, fast, and a little bit unnerving. On Friday, HL traded around $20.31 after Thursday’s $19.03 close, and touched an intraday high near $20.57—setting a new 52-week peak as the stock’s 52-week range widened to roughly $4.46–$20.57.
