Newmont is trading 7.5% up at A$159.97 as investors continue buying after its second-quarter results.
- Adjusted earnings beat estimates, while record free cash flow reached US$2.2 billion; coverage described the rally as earnings follow-through.
- Elevated gold prices and lower Treasury yields after weak U.S. employment data are supporting precious-metals shares.
- No new August 10 company announcement was identified; the move appears to be continued reaction to results rather than a fresh catalyst.
