Aura Minerals is trading 4.7% up now at $79.58 as gold prices strengthened and mining equities outperformed on August 17, 2026.
- Spot gold rose 0.6% to $4,402.49 per ounce as lower Federal Reserve hike expectations and a weaker dollar supported the sector.
- Bitcoin and Ethereum were only 0.90% and 0.88% higher, respectively, so crypto was not the primary driver.
- The upcoming August 18 dividend record date may provide additional support.
