Alamos Gold Inc. experienced a decline of 5.47% as it crossed below the 5-day SMA amid a broader market downturn, with the Nasdaq-100 down 1.68% and the S&P 500 down 0.99%.
Despite the surge in gold prices exceeding $5,300 an ounce ahead of the FOMC meeting, Alamos Gold's stock fell, indicating a sector rotation away from gold mining stocks in the current market environment.
This decline may reflect investor sentiment shifting towards other sectors, despite the favorable conditions for gold prices, suggesting a potential reevaluation of gold mining investments.
