Technical Observations – Against
Shares up after today’s Q2 production report showing Gold sales +17% YoY after production +22%. Potential for rebound after a tough start to 2018. Fears of a trade war support safehaven demand. Opened a new gold mine last month, ahead of schedule and under budget. Attractive 5% forward dividend yield
Risks to POLY shares include; a fall in gold prices; a stronger USD; very strong China data boosting risk appetite that reduces safehaven demand; poor results on Aug 20; US sanctions on Russian industry.
