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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
