Smelters are Struggling Even as Copper Prices Soar

Refined copper has enjoyed record prices, but the facilities that smelt the concentrate are struggling to stay afloat because processing fees have tanked to extremely low levels. Processors now have to depend on the by-products of the refining process in order to keep their doors open. Previously, smelters obtained revenue from the processing fees they charged, and then augmented that revenue with the income they got from other products that were contained within the copper they processed. Those other products include silver, sulfuric acid and gold. These byproducts are now the financial lifeline for smelters after processing fees collapsed. How…

Key Factors Behind Platinum’s Recent Price Retreat

Several factors explain this downward pressure on the precious metal, and we explore some of those key factors below. The hawkish monetary outlook by the U.S. Fed has created a major macroeconomic headwind for not just platinum but all precious metals. Persistent inflation has prompted the Fed to consider keeping lending rates higher for longer in order to put a lid on sticking inflation. In the recent FOMC meeting, several members of the Fed signaled support for raising interest rates later this year. Elevated…
