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

On Monday, the price of platinum shed 2.15%, bringing the cumulative week-to-date loss to about 9%. 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…

4 Forces Supporting the Current Rise of Precious Metal Prices

On Monday, precious metal prices ticked upwards. Gold reached $4,362 an ounce, marking gains of approximately 3.4%. Silver’s price hit $71.2 an ounce, a rally of about 4.7%. We look at some of the key factors that are driving this rally in precious metal prices as this week progresses. Crude oil prices dropped once a peace deal was signed between Iran and the United States. The signing of that truce caused West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude to drop to $80 per barrel, which is the lowest price it has traded at in nearly three months. High oil prices stoked inflation,…
