Are the prices South Africa sells into firm or falling? X4
Five small multiples, one hue, one unit each — never five lines on one plot, where four of the five would be flat against gold. Colour would carry no information here: each panel has exactly one series and its title names it. Manganese is not a benchmark price: there is no liquid exchange price for manganese ore and the assessed prices are paywalled, so this is one producer’s quarterly realized price, standing in.

·unjudged $4,163.40 on 29 September is the last price we hold, thirty days old. The LBMA price file refused every request for a twenty-ninth cycle (HTTP 403 from its Cloudflare front), so 30 September and 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 26, 27, 28 and 29 October are all missing. An earlier run ruled out our browser-backed fetcher and the Wayback Machine as ways round it. At that last print the price was -3.84% on the week, -8.75% over thirty days and +8.79% over twelve months. Unjudged. The price is old enough that the board shows only its age, and this row describes the last print, not where gold is today. Twenty-two trading days are missing. Your mining index ended those sessions 6.79% lower, but it is not a gold price and we have not used it as one. The fault is in our source, not the market, and fixing it is our job.
