Key Events
Gold prices edged lower during the week, pressuring gold miners.

On Friday, RBC Capital initiated coverage with a buy rating, providing one of the week’s more constructive signals.
Analyst Ratings
Among eight covering brokers, three rate the stock buy, three rate it overweight and two rate it hold. That sums to six buy or overweight ratings, with no underweight or sell ratings. The consensus recommendation is buy, with a target of $116.0625, about 38.85% above the latest close of $83.59. Individual targets range from $76 to $139, reflecting a wide spread of views. Within the gold sector, AngloGold Ashanti ranks 21st out of 49 companies by analyst rating.
The Week Ahead
On the macro side, the US will release a batch of data next week, including the Dallas Fed manufacturing index, durable goods orders, FHFA house prices and consumer confidence. These may shift rate expectations and ripple through gold and precious metals. On the company front, AngloGold Ashanti reports fiscal third-quarter results on 5 November, with consensus estimates pointing to EPS of $1.83 and revenue of $2.921bn.
In Short
AngloGold Ashanti slid 9.94% this week as gold prices pulled back, with daily turnover running below its median pace. Analysts remain mostly constructive, with a buy consensus and a target about 39% above spot, but the wide target range shows views are still split. The next signals to watch are whether gold stabilises and whether the upcoming quarterly results support or further pressure the shares.
