Investors Say Copper is Strongly Bullish, Can Withstand AI Pullback

Many analysts have been voicing their concerns that the AI boom could face a major correction and bring down other markets, such as commodity markets. However, investors say copper is in a structurally bullish market and the metal can survive if the AI boom unwinds. They point to several factors as the reason for their optimism. Taylor Melvin, the chief executive of Ivanhoe Electric, says there is a rush by different governments and regions to obtain supplies of key metals for economic, technology and national defense reasons. This has led to the stockpiling of critical metals, such as copper, and…

Gold Rebounds But Bearish Risks Remain

Gold prices regained some ground in early trading on Friday, recording a 1% uptick during the Asian trading session. This bounce comes after a major sell-off that followed the release of inflation data showing that average prices of commodities were still ticking up and the Fed could most likely tighten monetary policy further when it meets in about two weeks. Inflation that came in hotter than had initially been expected has brought the Fed into sharper focus as monetary policy is expected to remain hawkish and weigh on gold. This scenario is especially of concern to investors who see continuing…

Can the US Retain its Hold on its Current Stockpile of Copper?

In February last year, President Trump ordered a national security investigation into imports of copper into the U.S. The probe would allow the administration to decide whether to levy import tariffs on the refined metal or not. Since then, traders have been shipping copper into America in anticipation that once tariffs are imposed, they would make a killing selling the metal they had preemptively stockpiled in the country. That frontloading has led to copper stockpiles in the country rising to more than 1.10 million tons. Traders are still shipping even more metal into the U.S. as Trump keeps markets guessing…

Peter Schiff Says Rising Yields Bode Well for Gold

Peter Schiff, who deals in precious metals and rose to fame by warning about the financial crisis of 2008 long before it happened, has again made news by saying that the current rise in bond yields is very good for the price of gold. During an interview with Kitco News, the owner of an equities fund focusing on gold said that traders and investors have it wrong when they assume that rising yields are bearish for gold. The reverse is actually true, Schiff says. He explains that when yields rise as quickly as they are now doing, the message is…

What remains underground at the company’s Panguna Mine is what makes the project significant.

Deutsche Bank Forecasts Silver Oversupply in 2027

A new report authored by Deutsche Bank indicates that a decline in the industrial demand for silver, as well as growing supply, could cause the precious metal’s market to shift from being in a deficit to one characterized by oversupply as soon as 2027. Daniel Ghali, a metals analyst at the bank, writes in the report that silver’s spot price could average $70 an ounce by Q2 of 2027. He adds that as the supply squeeze eases, silver could find it hard to see its price rise at the same pace as that of gold, potentially leading to a higher…
