Taking a look at the 100 worst performances of miners (excluding microcaps) on the NSYE, LSE, TSX and ASX on Monday confirms the view.<\/p>\n
The top ten of the losers on Monday were a broad slice of the mining sector.<\/p>\n
Glencore \u2013 a diversified miner \u2013 was down 13%, putting in the worst performance among the largest miners. Gabriel Resources \u2013 a gold developer sitting on the controversial Rosia Montana project in Romania \u2013 was down 15%.<\/p>\n
First Quantum Minerals, the copper miner, had a 13% loss. A slew of gold and silver miners were among the worst losers: McEwen Mining (down 14%), GoGold (14%), Kinross Gold (13%), Centerra Gold down (12%) and Coeur d\u2019Alene Mines (11%).<\/p>\n
And this \u201c100 worst\u201d list was not top heavy. The median loser on it \u2013 just to give a sense of the distribution here \u2013 was down 7.8%. The average was down 8%. The range was -4.3% to -16.4% encompassing all the big names like BHP, Rio, Cameco, Barrick, Goldcorp. So yes, it was a very bad day.<\/p>\n
