  • Fresnillo Shares Fall 6.22% Amid Sharp Gold and Silver Sell-Off
    June 7, 2026, 1:32 PM EDT. Fresnillo (LON: FRES), the world's largest silver producer, saw its shares plunge 6.22% on Friday following a steep drop in gold and silver prices triggered by an unexpectedly strong U.S. jobs report. The May non-farm payrolls data, showing 172,000 jobs added, doubled analysts' expectations and fueled fears of Federal Reserve interest rate hikes. Gold prices fell 3.3%, hitting lows not seen since early January, while silver dropped 8.2%, its lowest since late March. Rising rates boost the U.S. dollar and Treasury yields, increasing the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding metals. Fresnillo's decline outpaced peers due to its reliance on precious metals revenues. Production dips and geopolitical tensions also weighed on sentiment, with analysts warning of continued pressure on precious metals and Fresnillo shares.
