Northern Star Resources Shares Drop as $500 Million Buyback Faces Gold Price Test

Northern Star Resources Ltd ended Monday’s session in Sydney at A$20.75, sinking 1.9% and closing right at its low for the day. Shares started the morning at A$21.03, briefly reached A$21.42, but slid as investors showed little enthusiasm for the miner’s A$500 million buyback, despite gold’s strength. Market value stood at roughly A$29.67 billion, according to Google Finance. Northern Star is supposed to be the straightforward gold bet for ASX investors—a big producer, hefty Western Australian projects, plus notable capital returns. Yet shares slipped at the end, even though bullion prices stayed high and swung around. Looks like just promising a buyback isn’t cutting it for the market.

Gold Prices Today: MCX Falls Below Rs 1.5 Lakh as Tanishq, Kalyan Cut 22K Rates

Gold prices slipped across India on Monday, with June futures on the Multi Commodity Exchange shedding almost 1% early on. Leading jewellers also lowered 22-carat retail tags. A stronger dollar and tensions in the Middle East rattled the market, pushing spot prices down. The recent pullback is showing up on store shelves following the sharp surge in FY26, when MCX gold jumped 67% and silver soared 142.2%. Steep prices have already steered many Indian consumers away from jewellery, pushing them toward bars, coins, and exchange-traded funds instead. The World Gold Council now expects 2026 demand could drop to 600-700 tonnes, as slack jewellery buying drags on gains from stronger investment interest.

Northern Star Resources Launches A$500 Million Buyback, Keeps 2026 Gold Outlook Intact

Northern Star Resources announced plans Thursday to buy back as much as A$500 million of its own shares. Preliminary gold sales for the March quarter came in at 381,000 ounces, the company said, putting the Australian miner on pace to reach its updated target: more than 1.5 million ounces for the full year. These twin updates hit just ahead of Northern Star’s full March-quarter numbers. The buyback, then, stands out—hardly a vanilla return. Back in January, the company trimmed its 2026 output forecast, and by March 13, it was warning that even the bottom end looked tough after milling performance slipped at Kalgoorlie Consolidated Gold Mines, its Western Australia flagship.

Gold price today: Bullion holds near $5,170 as U.S.-Iran talks test the latest rally

New York, Feb 26, 2026, 17:11 — After-hours Gold prices didn't budge much Thursday, with traders eyeing every scrap of news from U.S.-Iran nuclear negotiations. Spot gold hovered at $5,168.72 an ounce; U.S. gold futures slipped 0.6% to finish at $5,194.20. Razan Hilal of FOREX.com pointed out that gold just couldn’t hold above $5,200, calling it “a resistance level” where sellers typically appear. She cautioned a geopolitical breakthrough could trigger a pullback. Peter Grant at Zaner Metals still saw “enough uncertainty out there,” keeping his focus on higher marks—$5,340.72 and $5,400—even as he acknowledged the risk of short-term drops. Source
