Gaps in Commodities producing companies, especially Gold co's,generally are due to the fact that the underlying commodity being produced trades 24 hours a day in international markets, and there are exchange rate movements also. As a result, gaps in local Commodity producing companies are as a result of a "catch up" to the price of the commodity/exch rate on the overseas market and should not be "expected" to fill again like in other ASX listed co's. In PRU's case, approx 5% of the gap was a result of the movement in the Gold price, the balance a result of their ANN on that day. As such the probability of the gaop being filled purely on a technical basis is les than for other shares. Thats not to say it won't be filled as they are not a producer just yet (going from memory- which is fuzzy so take that from where it comes lol)
