During the past five trading days, both the FTSE 100 blue-chip index and the AIM All-Share junior index experienced declines of more than 2%, exacerbated by disappointing retail sales data for March released last Friday, contributing to a pessimistic market mood.
Conversely, commodities performed well, with gold nearly reaching its historical peak due to a ‘flight to safety’ and Brent crude oil increasing by 4.4% to US$90 a barrel on Friday, although it later dropped to US$88.25. Currently, metal prices are robust, which naturally led to a rally among mining companies.
