🟢 Fortitude Gold is trading 3.23% up in pre-market as gold surged after Treasury buyback expansion

Fortitude Gold is trading 3.23% up in pre-market at $1.00 as gold surged more than 4% on August 19, 2026, following the U.S. Treasury’s expansion of long-term bond buybacks.

• Lower Treasury yields and a weaker dollar improved sentiment toward gold producers.
• No new company-specific announcement appears to explain the move; the gain most directly aligns with the broader gold and materials rally.
• Fortitude Gold declared its $0.01 monthly dividend, payable August 31 to shareholders of record August 20.
