0649 GMT - The appointment of Glencore's Suresh Vadnagra as Northern Star's CEO from October is positive and could accelerate a portfolio review at the Australian gold miner, says Macquarie. The bank also cheers early 4Q gold sales numbers, which "provide some signal of a clean operational quarter," it says. "While NST notes KCGM remains on track for commissioning, the ramp-up schedule remains a key risk," Macquarie adds. The bank has an outperform rating and A$25.00/share target on Northern Star. Shares end up 5.5% at A$19.83. (rhiannon.hoyle@wsj.com; @RhiannonHoyle)
