Shares of Barclays plunge, Priceline is grounded, Barrick Gold shines bright

Yahoo Finance

Here are some of the stocks the Yahoo Finance team will be watching for you today.

UK banking stocks saw further downside Monday morning after the UK voted Thursday to separate from the European Union. Shares of Barclays (BCS) plunged another 23% and were halted at one point during London trading after triggering a circuit breaker. Monday was the second day of steep declines for the bank. Friday saw a 20.5% drop for Barclays following the Brexit vote, and shares are now trading at nearly half its market value at the start of the year.

Priceline (PCLN) was off by 1% in pre-market trading. Travel-related stocks sold off on Friday in reaction to the Brexit vote, with Priceline losing more than 11% that day. The company owns Dutch-based Booking.com, which is popular in Europe. Priceline is now down nearly 1% for the year.  

However, there’s at least one sector that has done well with the Brexit turmoil — the gold miners. Barrick Gold (ABX) is up again, gaining 3% in early trading. Investors are flocking to gold and gold-related stocks with the precious metal’s 5% spike in the past two trading sessions. It’s been a spectacular year for Barrick. The stock was already up 164% since the start of the year until Friday’s close and has nearly tripled in just the last six months.
