Might have just got too excited.

Up 70% in little over 4 months it's understandable some may be looking to take some profits off the table

Probably, but this is just a very volatile stock and will continue to be until there's some kind of peace actually signed.

Even with ceasefires and such it will jump up and down but won't calm down properly until some final state is agreed

It has so far

Good history on China, most people don't realise the communists purposefully refused to fight Japan, letting others die so they could sit back and then strike the nations' heroes who had fought for its independence.

Nah he's just a Russian bot

I would see this more as Putin taking the TACO trade which unfortunately, though probably correctly, the market is here by dropping us 15% by Tuesday.

Putin I don't think believes Trump will ever do anything that really effects Russia. I am not sure Trump is compromised necessarily as random things like bombing Iran are not in Russia's interests. I think he's just a weak leader with no interest in doing anything that takes effort or a deeper understanding of situations.

He's literally his social media posts, nothing else going on. It means it's easy to manipulate and probably he's been convinced Russia will blow up the world if he pushes them, whist at same time making decisions that are terrible for normal US citizens, and those of most countries in the world, not just the west but African and Asian too, but great for his super rich backers and those in his ear.

There is also no opposition, where in US are the democrats? Hiding under rocks waiting for the country to implode and hoping they can pick up the pieces rather than being a real opposition that holds Trump and the Republicans to account whilst offering alternatives.

FUBAR

My understanding of UN is that it gives a forum for countries slipping towards war or in war to still speak directly with each other.

The hope being that by speaking in a 'safe' forum wars can be prevented or countries can work towards stopping them.

It doesn't mean it's perfect but usually better for enemies to still have a way to speak with each other and set down complaints, demands and requirements rather than be completely cut off.

Another false dawn by the sound of it.

Trump special, talk everything up and then completely fail to get the job done.

Shame but expected if you are relying on Trump.

It's easy if all your information is coming from one or two places.

Look at all the anti vaxers around now wondering why kids are dying from measles and other easily avoidable diseases they didn't see dangers of precisely because of vaccines.

Unfortunately arguing with these people won't help as they will only double down, they are at the point where pointing out the faults in their position is a personal attack on them, hence anything that doesn't agree with their incorrect view of the world is 'fake news' or 'deepstate'.

Best to just give them snippets of truth and how that one day they'll wake up.

I mean let's be realistic there is 0% chance of ceasefire today.

It is just like Afghanistan though where Trump sat down with the Taliban, excluded the Afghan government and made a deal at which point the Taliban new they had won.

Will history repeat itself on the 4th anniversary of Taliban taking power?

I doubt it because Europe won't wear it this time, Ukraine is too close to be left for terrorists to take over.

I expect it's more about profit taking too.

10% on Friday but 26% in total last week I'm sure there are many who want to take a little off the table.

Just another Putin bot/sympathiser.

You notice he had no defense against your post except to try and make people look at something else.

Funny huh?

I know Copper prices are dropping but this decision suddenly makes Anto and other non US copper miners 33% more competitive than was planned.

The 50% tariff wasn't going to it's bottom line, only from our client's bank account to the US government but perhaps these are the dips to be bought.

Not sure if anyone on here is stating that Zhevago is definitely innocent but surely getting this case moving and closed one way or another rather just sitting in limbo can only be good as it's the uncertainty that investors and companies hate. Often bad news is still better than no news.

Last two days it's opened over 190 only to fall back, will it hold today?

All miners are up tbf, apparently because China are going to build a big dam but seems an overreaction if it's just that.

Can only be good for Ukraine and thus Ferrexpo

Interesting to see what happens here tomorrow but will Russia care too much?

How many of Trump's deadlines have we seen pass, not just on this war but on imposing tariffs and pretty much everything he says "Will happen in 'X' days"?

Still, hopefully a decent bounce as sounds like a lot of weapons and ammunition are on there way.

Not sure buying gold miners when they are all the rage and already at peak earnings is the best timing but good luck with it.

Seems a bargain but news always follows share price hence there's been a lot of bad news around this.

Still a tangible net value of £690m and a current market cap of only £480m makes it seem a fairly safe bet.

Esp with the trend of interest rate reductions, BoE stating more mortgages can be offered and over 4.5x salary, and planning regs simplification in the works.

We shall see.
