An Analysis of Centamin : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3DhXyBF93g
There's no wonder that the jobs market is showing an increase with 11'000 Americans retiring every day and set to increase.

What motivates Trump supporters? Simple: They want their country back.
WSJ: They might have lost a loved one in Iraq or Afghanistan. What was the sacrifice for? In the botched peace and withdrawal, they concluded that the foreign-policy elite don’t know what they’re doing. They are hesitant about Ukraine, Iran and Taiwan because the same crew is in charge. They’ll back an America that fights to win, but they don’t want their sons and daughters to die for America only to lose slowly.
In the 2007-08 financial crisis, they lost a house, a job or a business. They learned that the people in charge of the financial system don’t know what they’re doing (been going on for decades). ObamaCare sent them a health-insurance card that doesn’t work well when they get sick (?). They wonder: Do any of the policy wonks who promote this stuff actually use it themselves? They looked at Hillary Clinton and saw her insincerity, her nonprofit collecting millions, the way she said Trump supporters belong in a “basket of deplorables.” They gambled on Mr. Trump.
Then the establishment blew up. They saw the Federal Bureau of Investigation harass Mr. Trump’s appointees, much of official Washington fashion itself “the resistance,” the Russia-collusion hoax, years of pointless investigations.
In 2020 Covid hit. Trump supporters initially went along, trusting institutions. But the pandemic soon exposed the politicized incompetence of the Food and Drug Administration, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the scientific establishment. Lockdowns destroyed lives. Officials made up rules and ramped up censorship. Inquiries about whether the virus came from a lab leak, or anything negative about masks or vaccines, became “misinformation” subject to censorship. Trump supporters saw media, tech companies and national-security bigwigs suppress the news of the Hunter Biden laptop just in time for the election.
When schools went remote, parents found out what was actually going on inside the classrooms. Teachers were coaching students to hate themselves, their country and their religious traditions and sexualizing young children...
and so on, should be a bumper year for gold, going into the mayhem of a US Election
good luck punters, and investors...

The fed will reduce rates as inflation targets are being met.
Trump to FEDs Powell.
Your fired if I get re-elected.
Hence interest rates will go lower,to help Democrats in November.
Not really a surprise ,the way the FEDs actions have been in the recent past.
Enjoy your weekend all LTH.
Gold closes at $2039.95. ,clearly shows who is in control-
An excellent recovery, from US job figures.
Spot gold becoming more and more in control.
The price of precious metals dropped on Friday after the release of the nonfarm payrolls report for January, which revealed the addition of 353,000 jobs. This figure exceeded the analysts' forecast of 185,000.
According to the report, the unemployment rate in the country stood at 3.7%, lower than the estimated 3.8%. This indication of a robust labor market seemed to divert investors' attention away from non-interest-bearing metals.
Gold fell by 1.28% at 9:06 am ET and sold for $2,029.17 per ounce, while silver slumped 2.85% to go for $22.53 per ounce at the same time. Platinum declined by 1.22%, going for $905.45 per ounce and palladium lost 1.32%, selling for $944.35 per ounce.

Quite so Mr Bond, but then we long term holders wouldn't really expect anything any different than the usual Friday smack down based on flawed and manipulated data!
The CFD traders and the like will all be bailing out to avoid the possible Monday morning gap down bashing them through their stops!
POG already recovering!
Oh what a surprise, apparent bad news for PMs on a friday.
I wondered all week what was going on , very quiet ,gold rising with no response from the US, they chose Friday ,with very revised figures from December ,how could they get those figures so wrong, but useful for future revisions.
Not very good with figures are they, but very useful for revisions when needed, ;-)
Could BRICS nations drag the US back into the gold standard?

Data release at 13:30, so I baled out again on the button. Lovely 24hours though.
This data normally not support for gold and CEY.

Hi Paul'
Surely with the profits made they should be considering at least 4c minimum?
Hi Gnome,
The market is run to make money for the market and to the most extent by reaction to the last piece of hype and innuendo immediately after which it is waiting on a knife cadge in anticipation of the next utterance of innuendo from the FED, true facts or reality are paid scant regard until the next inevitable market catastrophe which of course will be blamed on everyone and everything else rather then the real culprit's running the market!
Then there will be the desperate scramble by governments and central banks to yet again conceal the market systems failings by using their fiscal toolboxes to shore up and bail out the greedy culprits which will of course be paid for by taxing the innocent and cutting their pubic services!

European stock indexes traded higher in the premarket session on Friday after the Bank of England (BoE) decided to maintain the key interest rate steady, following the same decisions made by the European Central Bank and the United States Federal Reserve. However, BoE's Governor Andrew Bailey stressed that it is still too early to consider interest rate cuts, although the latest inflation indicators are encouraging.
The DAX gained 0.22% at 8:00 am CET, and the FTSE 100 added 0.34%. At the same time, the CAC 40 improved by 0.30%, while the Euro Stoxx 50 increased by 0.50%.
The euro and the British pound were both flat against the dollar at 7:58 am CET, selling for $1.08752 and $1.27452, respectively.

Happy Friday y’al
Enjoy your weekend
Gold currently $2055.13
The prices of precious metals were mixed on Thursday following the decision by the United States Federal Reserve to maintain interest rates at their current level.
Gold and silver experienced gains after US Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell stated that the highly anticipated interest rate cut in March was unlikely. These recent remarks seemingly prompted investors to turn towards safe-haven assets amid market uncertainty.
Gold surged 1.21%, to go for $2,059.53 per ounce at 11:24 am ET. Silver added 1.25%, selling at $23.14 per ounce at the same time. Platinum decreased 0.31%, to stand at $916.72 per ounce and Palladium plummeted 1,89%, to go for $952.14 per ounce simultaneously.

Look at the markets Mr Bond today- the opposite of a flight out…
Or simply a flight out of shares to safe haven ie gold and treasuries.
R1234- prob the US statement earlier on Iran, US 10 Year dropping further.
Good to see markets coming back after Jerome being not so accommodating is his words yesterday.
Looks like my post was correct earlier this pm.
Gold price is flying, CEY not so much, no idea why.
You’d think it would go up now… hope I’m not wrong…
Aside from trying to trade the peaks and troughs on fundamentals, to state the obvious again, CEY need to deliver actual results ahead of expectation.
Yes, recent results have "met within range", and beaten on AISC (which is why I was surprised as I said on release that I thought the SP raise would have been greater).
However, when you give away so much of your profits, this weighs.
Having said this- look at other PMs, most suffer a similar fate at the moment...
Maybe when the full financials come out and show profit, more of a rise may occur.
Else this moves with markets.
Someone mentioned "divis", well in my view there are lot more "safer" (based on my view of risk) to get a way better divi.
GLA.
I'm hoping for something better than that. Didn't they base things on a gold price around about $1930?
Seeing the share price drop a bit this morning (again!) hurts a bit.
I know they have said about not paying as much , percentage wise, in dividends, but we could do with something, especially as the share price seems to be struggling to even get to a quid and hold.
Maybe a little special dividend as a thank you to the LTH and to celebrate the waste removal coming to an end?
We always seem to be waiting on the next quarter or the next RNS --------and I'm hoping the next one will be a bit better than "Steady as she goes" and the share price will start to move upwards.
