How much did AngloGold Ashanti shares fall?
The stock tumbled sharply in the session, aligning with the broader precious metals miner selloff. Exact price decline was not specified, but the drop was severe enough to flip the South African market from outperforming to underperforming.
Is AngloGold Ashanti’s selloff likely to continue?
If gold remains under pressure and global risk appetite stays fragile, further downside is possible. However, the stock may find support around its 200-day moving average if gold stabilizes.
