Shares in Australian gold miners were down on Thursday as the price of the precious metal neared a one-month low after the US central bank said it would start to reverse its crisis-era stimulus programme from next month.
The S&P/ASX All Ordinaries Gold Index, which tracks Australian gold miners, was down 3.5 per cent to 4,649.80 from 4,493.40 at the open, touching its lowest point since mid-August.
Among the biggest decliners were Syrah Resources, which was down 5.3 per cent, St Barbara down 4.44 per cent and Northern Star Resources down 3.9 per cent.
Gold fell as much as 0.4 per cent to $1295.89 an ounce on Thursday, the lowest intraday price since August 28.
The Federal Reserve chair Janet Yellen held rates on Wednesday but said the bank would consider a further interest rate rise this year and confirmed it would start paring back its multitrillion-dollar balance sheet in October.
