Newmont Surges 1.90% on $770M Volume, Ranks 156th in Daily Market Activity

Newmont (NEM) surged 1.90% on October 6, 2025, with a trading volume of $0.77 billion, ranking 156th in market activity that day. The stock's performance reflects renewed investor interest in the gold sector amid evolving macroeconomic dynamics.

Analysts noted that Newmont's recent operational updates, including progress on cost optimization initiatives and production guidance for Q4, contributed to the positive momentum. The company's focus on maintaining free cash flow generation in a higher-interest-rate environment has positioned it as a defensive play within the commodities space.

Market participants highlighted the stock's resilience against broader market volatility, with technical indicators showing improved momentum across key timeframes. The uptick in volume suggests institutional participation, though short-term traders remain cautious about near-term consolidation patterns.

I understand the idea: every trading day, form a 500-stock basket made up of the names with the highest share-turnover, hold that basket for one day, then repeat from 2022-01-01 to today. Unfortunately, the current back-testing engine we can run from this chat is designed for single-asset or single-event studies (e.g., “buy AAPL every time its volume spikes”). It doesn’t yet support daily re-weights across hundreds of tickers in one run, so it can’t directly replicate your full cross-sectional “top-500-by-volume” portfolio.
