NEW YORK - Shares of gold mining companies closed mixed Wednesday despite a jump in the price of the precious metal in U.S. trading.
Gold for June delivery rose $8.40 to settle at $927.50 an ounce on the New York Mercantile Exchange, after earlier reaching a one-month high of $931.10. Though gold and oil don't always rise together, analysts said the surging price of oil, which passed a record $133 a barrel Wednesday, brought a wave of investors into the metals market.
Here is how some gold miners fared in Wednesday's trading:
Freeport McMoran Copper & Gold Inc. fell $5.28, or 4.2 percent, to $120.58, after earlier hitting an all-time high of $127.14.
Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd. slid $2.18, or 3 percent, to $70.93.
Newmont Mining Corp. lost 28 cents, to $49.60.
Barrick Gold Corp. gained 34 cents to $42.69.
