Just fallen through the brexit low, now at a 14 year low!

"strategically they seem quite dim"

Not just strategically

Tempted to scoop a few more up for an easy 2% ish profit in a week or 2, seems like free money

That announcement was made while the market was still open last night, the price dropped a little at first but remained 12% up at close.

Regardless of what Iran might say, you still need insurance to sail through and at the moment that's problematic. Things will resolve in due course, no doubt, but it isn't suddenly going to happen overnight and we'll see continued upwards pressure on the price of oil for the foreseeable future.

They already said they won't attack shipping through the straits, except for US and Israeli vessels. It didn't stop the rise in oil price, the problem is getting insurance to sail through.

I can buy on iweb no problem, 29.06p to buy

One child cap is for the birds, economic suicide. Google 'Old age dependency ratio' to understand how that might work out.

Not sure where else you can get an almost guaranteed 15% in a couple of months. It's boring but making money in the market often is.

I've got 30% of everything in gold, silver and miners so hoping it keeps going, no reason it shouldn't with the systemic shortages and loss of trust in paper money

Doubled in a month! Doesn't look like stopping any time soon.

I think they'll both do it tonight in eastern markets, but silver first

Lol.. I'm going to stick around for a bit, I hate missing upside more than taking a loss.

If this breaks out beyond that previous high at 4.30 it could go on a mega run

I just popped in for a quick trade after the fall and now I'm stuck in an uptrend, ah well

"Just my opinion of course, you make your own mind up"

Not really your opinion though is it, just one that you've been fed and regurgitate without any real understanding, because it suits your conspiratorial mindset.

"Trump was planning on linking the dollar back to go on 4th July 2026"

If they revalued it at $20,000 an oz then their reserves would just about cover their debt

True, they do use their economic clout to shape things the way they want them... but then who doesn't, they'd be crazy not to.

Anyway, ~60% of the world's population are now in BRICS and China is the major economic force within that so I think it would do us well to stop seeing them so much as an enemy. There's only one country that's threatening us at the moment and it's not China.

Agreed they don't take political disent well but it's not a democratic system so political discussion isn't encouraged and most people are content to leave it to the government, certainly while living standards are rising and the country is united - they're very grateful for those things, given their history. And while democracy is probably the least worst system, there are benefits to the stability and long term planning that non-democratic systems bring - not advocating for it but I think sometimes we see democracy as the only legit system of gov and reject anything else - a benevolent dictatorship might be a good thing given the state of the world's democracies at the moment. Also, China are not an imperialist nation, they've never invaded anywhere, beyond a few border disputes, they're interested in protecting themselves so they can't be exploited again, after what they see as a century of humiliation by western powers. They have everything they need, they don't have dreams of conquest or war so I don't fear them as nation and tbh the majority of chinese people are very happy too so I don't feel like it's my place to criticise the system that's working for them. Anyway that's my twopenneth

Hey Tro, my wife's chinese and I've spent lot of time there so probably have a different view to you, I'm not worried about china at all, I am very worried about the seppos though.

The security services seem fine with it and anyway, china is our new bff now the yanks have stiffed us, I reckon they'll be much more trustworthy

Could just be a technical pull back to the moving average after getting a bit ahead of itself: https://invst.ly/1esqj1
