Kinross Gold

Gold jumped roughly 3% (over $130/oz), driving Kinross Gold stock up about 10.7% despite no company-specific news. The move is attributed to a weakening U.S. dollar, which boosts demand for hard assets, and U.S. Treasury bond repurchases that add liquidity and stoke inflation hedging. Kinross is likely to track gold prices going forward, though increased liquidity could later shift investors back into equities and weigh on gold. » More on finance.yahoo.com

S&P Global Ratings has raised Kinross Gold’s long-term rating from "BBB-" to "BBB" and assigned a "BBB" rating to its unsecured debt; the outlook is stable. The move was justified by significantly improved credit metrics due to higher cash flow from rising gold prices and a reduction of liabilities to about USD 750 million; cash and equivalents totaled roughly USD 2.7 billion as of June 30, 2026, and S&P expects net cash of over USD 4 billion by 2028 with annual free operating cash flow of >USD 1.5 billion. S&P assumes falling gold prices through 2028 and cites Kinross’s production, cost and reserve figures as well as the planned Great Bear project, with production starting at the end of 2029. » More on de.investing.com
