Gold Continues Climbing as the USD Weakens

The start of this week saw the price of gold increase on the European market as the metal edges closer to new highs. From its previous price of $4,299.39 an ounce, gold saw its price hit $4,349.35 an ounce, representing a 1.2% increase. The precious metal’s upward momentum has been underpinned by the U.S. dollar’s decreasing value against major global currencies. Investors have now turned their attention to the upcoming employment data, especially the October jobs report that was postponed because of the federal government shutdown. This data is widely expected to offer important insight into the possible direction of 2026’s monetary policy. The U.S. dollar index slipped by over…

Goldman Sachs Predicts Decline of Copper Prices in 2026

A recent report from Goldman Sachs expects the price of copper to decline next year, despite the metal’s increasing demand from power infrastructure. This, alongside constrained mine supply growth, is expected to underpin prices over time. According to the report, copper on the London Metal Exchange surged to an all-time high of $11,771 a metric ton earlier this year. The increase was primarily driven by concerns over tightening supply outside America. Despite this rally, Goldman Sachs projects that during the first half of next year, the LME copper price will average around $10,710 per metric ton. The financial institution expects the red metal’s prices to fluctuate between $10,000 and $11,000 over the course of 2026, due…

What Investors Need to Know About the Current Copper Market Realities

Last week, the price of copper climbed to $11,617 per ton, marking a more than 30% gain for the year and signaling more than a typical commodity upswing. The current environment reflects a fundamental shift in the global copper ecosystem, where short-term influences like expectations of Federal Reserve easing and U.S. tariff uncertainty intersect with powerful, long-term demand drivers like the adoption of renewable energy, growth of AI infrastructure and electrification. The defining feature of today’s market is severe supply tightness. Earlier this month, LME stocks dropped below 100,000 tons, pushing the futures curve into extreme backwardation, a clear sign…

Gold Stutters as Bond Yields Tick Upwards

The start of the week saw prices of both silver and gold drop as treasury yields rose ahead of a policy announcement by the Federal Reserve.
