So, how did the heavy hitters of the mining sector do in May 2026?
Let’s see… Barrick, Teck, HudBay, and Agnico—all captured weekdays at 4 p.m. ET, priced in Canadian dollars. You’ll probably notice a ghost town on the 18th. Victoria Day long weekend. The markets took a breather. As for the month itself? It had a definite rhythm. A strong push early on, a bit of a mid-month wobble, and then a scramble to recover as we headed into the summer.
Barrick Gold
Barrick opened May at $52.75. It didn’t take long to heat up, climbing steadily to hit a monthly high of $64.40 on the 11th. That peak didn’t stick around, though. The price drifted back down into the mid-$50s by the 19th. It tried to rally after that, closing out the month at $58.90 on the 29th.
Teck Resources
Teck started at $79.04 and showed some real strength in the first half, pushing up to $91.80 by the 13th. Then came the pullback. It slipped down to $81.50 on the 19th. But Teck found its legs again in the final week, making a solid run back up to close at $91.19.
HudBay Minerals
HudBay had an interesting finish. It opened the month at $31.02 and climbed to $38.07 on the 13th. After the mid-month dip—which brought it down to $32.89 on the 19th—the stock really caught a bid. It surged in the final days, hitting its monthly high of $40.31 right on the 29th.
Agnico Eagle
Agnico followed the familiar pattern. Opening at $249.67, it peaked early at $270.23 on the 12th. The middle of the month wasn’t kind, with the price dropping to $238.35 on the 19th. It managed to claw some of that back, ending May at $253.48.
