Gold coverage
The Weekly Pulse: July 14–18, 2026
Cocoa steadies near $4,180/t, gold holds above $3,290, and the Ghana Stock Exchange extends its lead as the continent's strongest market of 2026.
Gold at $3,290: How Africa's Gold Producers Are Benefiting From the Sustained Price Rally
Gold has traded above $3,000 per troy ounce for most of 2025 and 2026, sustained by central bank buying and safe-haven demand. For South Africa, Ghana, Mali and Tanzania, that is a substantial transfer.
The Weekly Pulse: June 23–27, 2026
Cotton falls below 70 cents, putting pressure on Sahel producers; gold consolidates above $3,200; and the JSE Top 40 holds an 8.6% year-to-date gain.
