Disseminated on behalf of Ucore Rare Metals Inc. (TSX.V: UCU) (OTCQX: UURAF) and may include paid advertising. Industry analysts project that REEs used in clean-energy technologies could see demand increase two to three times by 2040. Despite the importance of these precious elements, global supply chains for REEs remain highly concentrated. Ucore is developing technologies and facilities designed to process rare earth concentrates into high-purity oxides that can be used in manufacturing. Rare earth elements have become one of the most strategically important groups of materials in the modern global economy, underpinning technologies that range from electric vehicles to advanced…

Gold Hovers Around $4,500 Amid Dollar Strength and Rate Cut Delays

As the week gets to the mid-point, spot gold has been trading in a tight range around $4,500 an ounce as a firmer dollar, elevated yields on Treasuries and a hawkish Fed exert a drag on prices of the precious metal. The current war happening between the U.S. and Israel on the one hand and Iran on the other would have continued to lift gold prices since the precious metal thrives during turmoil. However, the brakes have been pumped on this expected surge by the USD which has strengthened during this time of the military conflict in the Middle East.…

Slowdown in EV Transition Boosts Optimism in Platinum Markets

The market for platinum group metals has gained a dose of optimism as the transition to electric mobility slows down. The auto industry consumes up to half of all the platinum produced annually while 80-90% of palladium is used within the auto industry. Switching to EVs therefore removes a large share of the market for these metals and would depress demand. These two PGMs are used to make catalytic converters in ICE vehicles, so a rapid transition to EVs would exert downward pressure on demand and the prices of these metals would fall. Analysts say recent developments have helped to…
