Asian shares are mixed after days of gains driven by hopes for US rate cuts
MANILA, Philippines (AP) — Asian shares were mixed on Thursday after days of gains driven by hopes for lower U.S. interest rates, while U.S. futures slipped. In Tokyo, the Nikkei 225 fell 1.4% to 42,657.94 as investors sold to lock in recent gains that have taken the benchmark to all-time records. The Japanese yen rose against the dollar after U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said in an interview with Bloomberg that Japan was 'behind the curve' in monetary tightening. He was referring to the slow pace if increases in Japan's near-zero interest rates. Low interest rates tend to make the yen weaker against the dollar, giving Japanese exporters a cost advantage in overseas sales. The dollar fell to 146.55 Japanese yen early Thursday, down from 147.39 yen. The euro fell to $1.1703 from $1.1705. In Chinese markets, Hong Kong's Hang Seng index shed less than 0.1% to 25,597.85, while the Shanghai composite index gained 0.2% to 3,690.88. South Korea's Kospi slid 0.3% to 3,215.61, while Australia's S&P ASX 200 index added 0.5% to 8,871.80. Taiwan's TAIEX fell 0.4%, while India's Sensex edged 0.1% higher. 'Asian markets opened today like a party that ran out of champagne before midnight — the music still playing, but the dance floor thinning out,' Stephen Innes of SPI Asset Management said in a commentary. The futures for the S&P 500 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average were down less than 0.1%. On Wednesday, U.S. stocks ticked higher, extending a global rally fueled by hopes the Federal Reserve will cut U.S. interest rates. The S&P 500 rose 0.3% to 6,466.58, coming off its latest all-time high. The Dow climbed 1% to 44,922.27, while the Nasdaq composite added 0.1% to its own record set the day before, closing at 21,713.14. Treasury yields eased in the bond market in anticipation that the Fed will cut its main interest rate for the first time this year at its next meeting in September. Lower rates can boost investment prices and the economy by making it cheaper for U.S. households and businesses to borrow to buy houses, cars or equipment, though they risk worsening inflation. Stocks of companies on Wall Street that could benefit most from lower interest rates helped lead the way. PulteGroup climbed 5.4%, and Lennar rose 5.2% as part of a broad rally for homebuilders and others in the housing industry. Lower rates could make mortgages cheaper to get, which could spur more buying. The cryptocurrency exchange company Bullish ended its debut day of trading after an initial public offering of more than $10 billion with a gain of nearly 84% to $68 a share. The hopes for lower interest rates are helping to drown out criticism that the U.S. stock market has broadly grown too expensive after its big leap since hitting a low in April. President Donald Trump has angrily been calling for cuts to help the economy, often insulting the Fed Chair Jerome Powell while doing so. But the Fed has hesitated of the possibility that Trump's sweeping higher tariffs could make inflation much worse. Fed officials have said they want to see more fresh data about inflation before moving. On Thursday, a report will show how bad inflation was at the wholesale level across the United States. Economists expect it to show inflation accelerated a touch to 2.4% in July from 2.3% in June.

1 ‘Strong Buy' Dividend Stock to Buy to Protect Your Portfolio
While gold (GCZ25) is usually seen as a defensive asset and investors don't really expect it to keep outperforming risk assets like equities over the long term, things have been different over the last few years. The precious metal is outperforming the S&P 500 Index ($SPX) this year, something it has also done over the last two-year and three-year periods. Gold miners are a leveraged bet on gold as they tend to rise or fall more than the precious metal. We see something similar with other commodity producers, given their earnings sensitivity to the underlying commodity. More News from Barchart Is Ford Stock's Juicy Dividend Still Safe Amid the Global Tariff War? After Hitting 30th 52-Week Low, Is Adobe Too Cheap to Ignore? Markets move fast. Keep up by reading our FREE midday Barchart Brief newsletter for exclusive charts, analysis, and headlines. In the gold mining space, Agnico-Eagle Mines (AEM) is one name that looks like a good bet. The stock has outperformed the VanEck Gold Miners ETF (GDX) this year and looks set to continue its good run, as we'll discuss in this article. But, before that, let's look at gold's outlook. Gold Has Outperformed Stocks in 2025 Gold is a hedge against the volatile equity markets, and often the two assets tend to move in opposite directionntals. While stocks tend to do well in periods of economic boom and macro and geopolitically stability, the yellow metal outperforms when there is economic turmoil or geopolitical tension. Invest in Gold Thor Metals Group: Best Overall Gold IRA Priority Gold: Up to $15k in Free Silver + Zero Account Fees on Qualifying Purchase American Hartford Gold: #1 Precious Metals Dealer in the Nation Over the last few years, though, both gold and the S&P 500 Index have been moving in tandem and rewarded investors. Notably, while the S&P 500 Index has hit record highs and put the tariff tantrum behind it, there are several risks that markets are wary of. These include a burgeoning U.S. national debt, geopolitical tensions as China and Russia push for a new world order, and the trade tensions which are testing the current global system. While stock markets have learned to live with these issues, unless they seem to threaten the world economy in a significant way, investors are increasingly pivoting to gold to hedge their bets. Global central banks have also been increasing gold's share in their foreign currency reserves, creating a tailwind for gold demand and, by extension, prices. Why Agnico Eagle Mines Looks Like a Good Buy AEM is one of the largest gold mining companies globally, with mines in 'safe' jurisdictions in Canada, Mexico, Australia, and Finland. Its all-in sustaining costs (AISC) were $1,279 per troy ounce in Q2, and management reaffirmed the 2025 guidance of between $1,250-$1300 per troy ounce. The company is in the second-quartile of the global cost curve, which places it in a sweet spot, as it has good leverage to any upside in gold prices. On the downside, the company's costs are significantly below what gold prices currently trade at, providing it ample cushion to survive any gold price slump. AEM Has Paid Dividends for 42 Consecutive Years While being a 'non-yielding' asset is one of gold's drawbacks, gold mining companies make it up through dividends. AEM has paid dividends for 42 consecutive years, and the bonanza is expected to continue as higher gold prices lead to an increase in earnings. In Q2 2025, Agnico-Eagle Mines generated free cash flows of $1.3 billion, of which it used $200 million for dividends and another $100 million for share repurchases. The company also pared its debt by $550 million in the quarter and now has a net cash position of almost $1 billion. The company aims to return around a third of its free cash flows to shareholders in the form of dividends and share repurchases. It is also investing in organic growth, which bodes well for its production profile in the coming years. While the current dividend yield of 1.2% is a tad below the S&P 500 Index, AEM should increase the dividend either later this year or early next year as higher gold prices lift its cash flows. AEM stock trades at a forward enterprise value-to-earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization (EV-to-EBITDA) ratio of 9.6x, which, although higher than its historical averages and some of its peers, is not yet frothy, given the structural tailwinds for gold prices. Moreover, Agnico-Eagle has historically commanded a premium over peers given its relatively safe business and strong balance sheet. Overall, with a growing production profile, favorable position on the global cost curve, rock-solid balance sheet with a net cash position, and finally reasonable valuations, I find AEM a good dividend stock to buy. Agnico-Eagle Mines Stock Forecast Brokerages are also quite bullish on AEM, and it has a consensus rating of 'Strong Buy' from the 15 analysts covering the stock. AEM's mean target price of $142.56 is 5.2% higher than the Aug. 11 closing price. The stock has continued to rally since the last time I covered it in June, and I expect it to build on its YTD gains in the coming months, even as there might be some downward pressure in the short term.
