On September 15, CHINAGOLDINTL fell 3.41% in regular trading, trading at 248.8 HKD/share, with turnover of approximately HKD 139 million. The decline was driven by stronger-than-expected U.S. August PPI data, which came in at 5.4% year-on-year versus expectations of 5.3%, pushing market pricing for a September Fed rate hike to approximately 90%.

The strengthening U.S. dollar weighed on both gold and copper prices, with COMEX gold futures falling 1.56% and LME copper dropping 1.42%. CHINAGOLDINTL carries dual gold-copper exposure through its Jiama copper-gold polymetallic mine in Tibet and the Chang Shan Hao gold mine in Inner Mongolia, making it more sensitive to a simultaneous decline in both metals compared to pure gold miners. The stock had previously rallied to a 52-week high of 280.6 HKD after being included in the Hang Seng HighBeta Index and Hang Seng SCHK Central SOEs Quality Index in early September, and profit-taking pressure has persisted since.

Within the Gold sector, SD GOLD fell 2.61%, ZHAOJIN MINING fell 2.54%, ZIJIN GOLD INTL fell 2.05%, CHIFENG GOLD fell 1.50%, and LINGBAO GOLD fell 1.03%.
