            <description><![CDATA[Central banks bought far less gold at the start of the year than previously thought, and while demand has since rebounded, their purchases are expected to decline this year, according to the World Gold Council. Central banks only bought 57 t in the first quarter, 187 t less than previously thought, the industry group said in a report Thursday. That’s the weakest start to a year in well over a decade, according to WGC data, and the revision means the overall pace of purchasing this year is likely to fall below 2025.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Anglo American is discussing a deal worth about $1-billion to sell its De Beers diamond business, just a fraction of what the one-time diamond monopoly was once worth. Anglo has been looking to sell De Beers since it fended off an almost $50-billion approach from BHP Group in early 2024, yet its disposal process has been stymied by a crisis in the diamond market. Anglo has so far taken three impairments on De Beers in just three years, lowering its carrying value for the unit to $2.3-billion in February.]]></description>
