Gold closed the week at $3,995 – below the $4,000 mark and down from last week’s $4,164 as it seemed to succumb to capitulation.

Next week is half term here in the rain sodden post industrial second world nation of sanctuary that is Wales and I have promised the Mrs. and kids a few days away with me doing limited keyboard time. After what she endured from Paul Mathieson it is the least that I can offer. So help me out and be like reader A and win an almost free week at the Greek Hovel.
I beg you please start writing today. The weather is foul what a good reason to stay in and help me. Then I look at the rapidly changing mood music and a Monday dream starring Georgina (GEX), Supply@ME Capital (SYME), Nuburu (BURU), Wishbone (WSBN), Cirata (CRTA) and Valereum (VLRM).

If this occurs it will Nuburu’s third delisting from the American Stock Exchange in 2026.
Online retail group Boohoo (DEBS) has announced results for its half-year ended 31st August 2026 with CEO Dan Finley emphasising “profit before tax has improved to £28.3m.
