Anglo American share price steadies near 52-week high as gold surge keeps miners in focus

London, Jan 27, 2026, 08:08 GMT — Regular session

  • Anglo American shares edged mostly flat Tuesday morning, following a 2% gain the day before
  • The surge in bullion prices has kept UK-listed miners firmly in traders’ sights
  • Investors have their eyes set on Anglo’s production figures due Feb. 5, followed by the full-year results on Feb. 20

Anglo American shares hovered around 3,448 pence in early London trade Tuesday, staying close to last week’s 52-week peak following a rally in commodities that boosted miners. (Investing)

Precious metals have been the main support for the sector. Gold surged past $5,100 an ounce on Monday, with silver reaching new highs as investors sought safe-haven assets amid uncertainty. Adrian Ash from BullionVault told Reuters that “Trump and Trump” will probably steer precious metals this year. (Mining)

Anglo faces a busy stretch ahead, with its fourth-quarter production report set for Feb. 5 and full-year results coming on Feb. 20. These updates will deliver the next batch of concrete figures, following a recent sharp rise in the share price. (Angloamerican)

Anglo American climbed 2.07% on Monday, closing at 34.48 pounds, just 0.09% below its 52-week peak reached last week, according to MarketWatch data. (MarketWatch)

Miners stood out on the FTSE 100 in the previous session, buoyed by a rally in precious metals that lifted their shares. Anglo American gained ground alongside rivals like Rio Tinto, the Guardian reported. (The Guardian)

Anglo’s broad exposure to copper and other mined commodities often positions its stock as a go-to play during rapid moves in metals prices. That said, the shares can also react sharply to macroeconomic news, even if the company itself isn’t making any headlines.

That said, the situation works both ways. Should bullion prices dip or risk appetite swing back to growth assets, miners could lose ground quickly. Anglo’s upcoming production report will be a key moment for investors to see if volumes and costs live up to the optimistic pricing seen recently.

  • Engage XR Sees 459,595-Share Volume Spike on Euronext at EUR 0.04
    January 27, 2026, 4:00 AM EST. ENGAGE XR Holdings plc (EXR.IR) experienced a 459,595-share intraday volume surge on Euronext, approximately 131 times the 50-day average, while the price held steady at EUR 0.04. The spike highlights improved liquidity and a clearer order book, important for short-term traders seeking entry or exit points. Despite the surge, price stability suggests matched buying and selling interest rather than directional conviction. The company's financials show high gross margin (81.67%) but negative earnings per share (-0.02), typical for early-stage software firms. Meyka AI rates the stock a Hold (62.64/100) amid a downtrend below 50-day and 200-day averages. The volume spike signals potential for institutional trades but also execution risks amid low profitability and volatility.
