AngloGold Ashanti plc
Here’s whether AngloGold Ashanti plc (AU) is worth buying in 2026 — based on weekly-updated price trend, RSI momentum, and return vs. the S&P 500. Our current read: Caution.
Positives: 50-day MA is rising (+0.29% over 10 days); RSI 40 — healthy momentum range; strong 1-year return of +78.6%. Concerns: trading below the 200-day MA (long-term downtrend); below the 50-day MA (medium-term momentum negative); 3-month momentum negative (-22.8%). Currently 34.9% off its 52-week high. Score: -1/7.
AU is trading below its 200-day MA ($87.91) — a key warning sign the longer-term trend is under pressure. An RSI of 40.0 sits in the neutral zone — momentum is neither stretched nor exhausted. The 1-year return of +78.6% compares to +24.4% for SPY (beat the market by 54.3%). The current 34.9% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
