Newmont (NYSE:NEM) shares gained 1.5% to $123.63 in pre-market trading, buoyed by a recovery in gold prices and positive analyst sentiment. The precious metal initially dipped following the Federal Reserve's decision to raise interest rates but subsequently rebounded, providing a more favorable environment for gold miners.
Analysts at UBS increased their price target on Newmont to $155 from $120, reiterating a Buy rating. They highlighted the company's commitment to distributing 100% of free cash flow when net cash is between $1 billion and $3 billion, as well as potential share repurchases. RBC Capital also raised its target to $155 from $135, reaffirming an Outperform rating, citing capital allocation strategy and the resolution of the Fourmile project dispute.
The broader U.S. equity market saw gains, with the S&P 500 advancing 0.9% and the Nasdaq rising 1.1%. However, the Federal Reserve's projections indicate a potential for further rate increases, which could influence gold prices through impacts on the U.S. dollar and bond yields.
