Fair comment, Paul1D, because there is a lot of media propaganda and bs overall....all the more important to dyor as well. Since you have concerns about BBC and I am likewise about Fox we could do worse than peek at Al Jazeera as well from time to time. I have noted some very accurate reporting therefrom (perhaps 'cos it is Qatar-based and not Saudi or Emirati?) In my country we are also blessed with two very unbiased outlets, Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) on tv and National Public Radio (NPR). Both rely on donations/subscriptions to operate independently from government or corporate controls.
“Today our media informs us ”
Well just like our BBC here, a great deal of us have stopped believing their mentally unstable rubbish they keep churning out.
"It is amazing to see the USA again stepping in to broker peace". Not to me it isn't, VanVan....and it wasn't Trump who flew to Ankara to meet Erdogan but our Vice President, Mike Pence.
I suggest to you that our Donald is in deep doo-doo. There are concerns about his mental state and he is perceived as being very childish. Today our media informs us that the contract to host the next G7 Meeting has been awarded to the Trump National Doral Golf Resort in Miami. (Nothing so personally blatant seems to have been done by a US President before). We are informed that our US Ambassador to the UN ( Gordon Sonderland) has , through his testimony to Congress, virtually chucked Trump and his personal lawyer (Rudy Giulani) "under a bus". TRump himself is now facing calls from all sides for impeachment. But since he has all his pals in the Judiciary and as Senate Leader he ain't gonna be turned out of office by the Democrats. So we now have a good guy/bad guy situation rooted in the Republican Party and a need to provide for its future. Imho it goes like this...... Trump is impeached and resigns before things hit the fan and seriously damage his Party. Mike Pence becomes President for the rest of this session and the GOP has both a scapegoat for any misdemeanours and perhaps a better hope for success in the November 2020 Election.
Otherwise I am fine with the sentiments you and john have just expressed about AAU, thanks.
Mostly agree Vanvan, but I don't think our opinion of Trump is in tune - it is the US and its world influence (and scary power) that can give rise to such a ceasefire, in spite of rather than because of Trump. Massive relief if this is a ceasefire that sticks. It may mean that Turkey gets it buffer zone. But this isn't a political chatroom and will say no more.
Re AAU, I don't know what to expect from the quarterlies. I suspect more like Q2 than Q3 2018 but time will tell. If this ceasefire looks as if it has good foundations then the SP should act positively irrespective of the number of ounces produced.
Turkey and Putin will between them destroy Kurdish resistance and Kurdish autonomy in the region.
It is amazing to see the USA again stepping in to broker peace and protect the interests of innocent people whilst supporting as far as it can Turkey's plan to remove the ongoing Kurdish treat to their peaceful living and in the blatant absence of any help from Europe in respect of the 3.6m Syrian refugees. Trump pulls it of again! And its not even his (the US's) problem as he stated.
I suspect this will ease investor concerns and sentiment towards Turkey will start to melt. It has been an amazing week of news from Ariana with the Quarterlies still to come. Have they left the best till last? I believe the RNS's could have been much better written this week, but I'm afraid that is par for the course with Ariana. The Quarterlies with the benefit of the uplifted gold & silver prices, can't help but speak for themselves, so these with the cease fire news, should only mean one thing. Sorry if anyone disagrees. Not trying to be controversial .
And I hope this ceasefire just announced holds.
Just an observation, looking at todays trades the spread seems much tighter than usual. Not sure what that means, if anything
