...87 a troy ounce from $1,136.35 at the JSE's last close, and platinum was at $1,443/oz, from $1,449/oz at its previous close. A local trader said: "We are flat this morning, but saw a bounce in the gold price, performing better from last night, which is lending support to the market. Markets are expected to see sideways movement today, with no economic data to speak of. 'If the dollar strengthens, we may see some sell offs in the market,' he said. Dow Jones Newswire reported that European stocks were called to open higher today, as traders look to turn yesterday's sell off into a quick buying opportunity, said Ben Potter at IG Markets. He called London's FTSE 100 up 31 points at 5,299. However, the potential to keep booking profits is there, as 'the forthcoming weekend break, a potentially slow end to the month owing to US holidays and the risk associated with next week's UK GDP revision could keep any gains in check,' said Potter. He added with little on the economic calendar, it seemed unlikely any meaningful direction would be brought to the table. Back in Johannesburg, Anglo American plc subsided 18 cents to R317 and BHP Billiton moved R1.89 lower to R228.15. Petrochemicals group Sasol was up 51 cents to R295.50. AngloGold Ashanti picked up R6.02, or 1.85%, to R331.01 and Harmony garnered R1.40, or 1.78% to R79.95. Gold Fields edged up R1.56, or 1.46%, to R108.51. Platinum miner Anglo Platinum gave up R7 to R698. In diversified miners, African Rainbow dropped R1.74, or 1.07%, to R160.26. Kumba Iron Ore shed R2.07 to R252.80. Highveld dropped R1.83, or 2.73%, to R65.16. Elsewhere on the JSE, Imperial fell R1.71, or 2.09%, to R80.17 and Barloworld slipped R1.10, or 2.12%, to R50.80. Among banks, RMB Holdings leaked 36 cents, or 1.28%, to R27.86. Among retailers, Pick n Pay weakened 68 cents, or 1.66%, to R40.25, but Foschini gained 58 cents, or 1.03%, to R56.78. Construction Group Five dipped 40 cents lower, or 1.03%, to R38.50 and WBHO gave up R2.21, or 1.92%, to R112.79. Among telecommunications groups, Vodacom weakened 97 cents, or 1.67%, to R57.03. Media group Naspers N lifted 8 cents to R282.08, while Avusa shares remained untraded at R17.30. Avusa today pointed to a 20% decline in advertising revenues with newspaper, magazine, digital and out-of-home businesses advertising sharply lower in what it termed an extremely tough trading period. 'In particular, recruitment advertising reduced as employers shed jobs and limited appointments,' it said. Avusa reported headline earnings of 39 cents for the 6 months ended September 30, from 97 cents previously. Earnings per share were at 44 cents, from 155 cents previously, a drop of 72%. Revenue from continuing operations decreased 5% from R2.3bn to R2.2bn. The group reported operating profit of R77 million, from R177 million earlier, a decline of 56%."
