BDR, being a low cost producer (lowest quartile, decile(?)), is not as highly leveraged to the Au$, as a high or higher cost miner. This subdues upside, minimizes downside, and sustains/buttresses the sp. At least this is my bet here.
In a month's time half the capex loan will be paid. In four months, fully paid off; with a divvie discussion ensuing shortly afterwards. Tough wait/hold for some.
Au$'s strongest seasonal period begins just after BDR puts "PAID" to Maq. Think about those consequences, and divvie talk, reflecting in the sp.
As for Au$ moves just now, I was reading a LatAm blog, IKN, and the blogger noted this correlation concerning Au$ weakness. Scroll and see the nat gas price, insight or not?:
