Barrick Mining has reached an agreement with unions in Mali, effectively canceling planned strikes that threatened gold production in the region. This resolution removes a near-term supply disruption risk for the gold market, potentially capping upside momentum for gold prices that might have been driven by geopolitical safe-haven flows. The stabilization of supply in a key jurisdiction supports a more neutral outlook for the precious metals sector.
