Gold hits all-time high above $US3200

Miners dominate top stock gains

Market reacts to global uncertainty

Gold prices reached a new record on Friday, pushing past $US3200 an ounce and fueling strong momentum across mining stocks. The surge was largely driven by renewed global uncertainty, following comments from US President Donald Trump regarding trade tariffs. The shift reignited demand for safe-haven assets, with gold leading the charge.

By mid-morning, gold had climbed to $US3207.50 an ounce, setting a fresh all-time high. Investors globally responded swiftly, as the rally in gold translated into significant gains for several key players in the mining sector.

Leading the rise was Newmont Corporation (NYSE:NEM), the world’s largest gold miner, which saw its shares climb 4.3% during Friday’s trading session. The uptick reflected both the rising gold prices and investor confidence in the company's exposure to high-quality gold assets.

Australia's De Grey Mining (ASX:DEG) followed closely behind, also benefiting from the bullish sentiment in the commodity space. The company, which is developing its large-scale Hemi gold project in Western Australia, gained over 3% on the day. With gold prices trending higher, such development-stage companies are increasingly seen as well-positioned in a stronger pricing environment.

Other major gainers included Regis Resources (ASX:RRL) and Evolution Mining (ASX:EVN), both rising more than 3%. These companies, already profitable at lower gold prices, stand to benefit significantly from improved margins as gold continues its upward momentum. Their share price movements reflect growing optimism about the sector's near-term outlook.

The rally in gold and gold equities comes at a time when broader markets remain volatile. With inflation concerns and geopolitical risks persisting, the appeal of gold as a safe store of value has returned to the forefront. Many market participants are once again considering the historical role of gold as a hedge in uncertain times.

The strong performance of gold miners on Friday underscores the direct impact of commodity prices on equity valuations within the sector. As long as global uncertainty persists and gold remains elevated, attention is likely to stay focused on gold producers and developers that are poised to capture value from this rising trend.
