• Gold sector weakness deepened, with Regis Resources, Emerald Resources, and Capricorn Metals also recording notable declines.

Evolution Mining Limited (ASX: EVN) was among the steepest fallers on the ASX 200 today, with shares trading down 5.2% to $9.38 at the time of writing. The sell-off came as gold miners bore the brunt of market weakness, following a slip in the spot price of gold from last week’s record highs.

Gold Miners Dominate the Losers List

By mid-morning trade, Evolution Mining’s decline had intensified, briefly touching $9.22, a drop of nearly 6.9% intraday. The materials sector as a whole was under pressure, falling about 0.8%, with eight gold producers featuring in the ASX 200’s top 10 losers. Regis Resources slid 6.6%, Emerald Resources lost 5.3%, and Capricorn Metals shed 4.4%. Bellevue Gold, Genesis Minerals, Vault Minerals, and Westgold Resources all posted losses between 3% and 4%.

What’s Driving the Sell-Off?

The sharp pullback is largely tied to moves in the gold price. After breaking above US$3,600 per ounce for the first time last week, gold has eased slightly as traders position ahead of the US Federal Reserve’s policy announcement. The gold price eased from last week’s record above US$3,600 an ounce, as traders turned cautious ahead of the US Federal Reserve’s upcoming rate decision. Although bullion prices remain close to all-time highs, the retreat has prompted profit-taking across Australian gold miners, many of which had rallied strongly in recent weeks.

Outlook for Evolution Mining

For Evolution Mining, the near-term outlook will remain closely linked to gold’s price action. While today’s losses reflect broader sector weakness rather than company-specific news, analysts caution that volatility may persist as markets await clarity from the Fed. At the time of writing, Evolution Mining (ASX: EVN) continues to trade lower, highlighting how sensitive gold equities remain to even small movements in the underlying commodity.
