gold sector stocks listed in London rose with the strengthening of gold prices. Victoria Scholar, Investment Director at Interactive Investor, said in a report that driven by expectations of a US rate cut this month and uncertainty over tariffs, gold prices continued to climb, nearing historical highs. "The focus this week is on the Fed's Beige Book, US non-farm payrolls report, job vacancies and labor turnover survey, and ADP report." Hochschild Mining rose 5%, Alien Metals rose 3.85%, and Fresnillo rose 1.6%.
