Chinese Copper Smelters Switch to Scrap Amid Concentrate Shortages

Producers of refined copper in China have resorted to using scrap metal for their operations as the availability of copper concentrate feedstocks tightens. Because of limited concentrate availability, processing charges have dropped even more into negative territory. The change in the feedstock used underscores how changes in the global supply of copper concentrate have propelled refiners in China to change the structural underpinnings of their operations. This shift also signals possible changes to copper concentrate prices on global markets, which are already higher than they have ever been in recent times. Antaike, a Chinese government-backed research entity, reveals that 25.2%…

Gold’s Biggest Headwind Just Reversed Course: Is the Price Tide Changing?

For this entire year thus far, precious metals have taken a beating largely due to one force: the war with Iran and the attendant oil-fueled inflation. As this week started, there were signs that this tide is reversing its course. Should gold investors start getting their chopsticks ready? Let’s back up for a bit and set the context because context is everything. Under normal circumstances, gold thrives during geopolitical turmoil as investors seek safe havens for their portfolios. However, the U.S. war with Iran introduced a curveball in the name of skyrocketing crude oil prices due to disruptions to shipping…

Why Gold’s 27% Drawdown Should Matter for Every Investor

Gold’s price peaked in January at $5,589 per ounce. Today, bullion is hovering around $4,073. That is approximately 27% below the peak reached as the year started. Many investors may be disappointed that the precious metal didn’t live up to the lofty predictions regarding its price trajectory as last year ended, but that drawdown carries a major silver lining that savvy investors have noted. This drawdown isn’t the first of its kind, and when the history of the gold market is put into perspective, now isn’t the time to count one’s losses. Instead, there is a golden opportunity to reposition.…

Why the Fed Vote Tally Matters More Than the Decision

The FOMC (Federal Open Market Committee) is currently holding its July meeting and a decision on benchmark lending rates is expected on Wednesday when this meeting ends. While news outlets will be focusing more on whether the Fed decides to retain the current lending rate or increase it, we think the more useful metric to watch is how each FOMC member votes. Markets largely expect the Fed to hold its current benchmark lending rate, so it won’t be surprising when the press conference at the end of the meeting announces that decision. Astute investors will be paying attention to the…
