Geopolitical Optimism Strengthens Near-Term Copper Outlook

Progress in United States-Iran negotiations is improving sentiment across global commodity markets, reinforcing a bullish near-term outlook for copper. Reports indicating phased reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and a potential ceasefire have eased fears of prolonged energy disruptions, lowering pressure from elevated oil prices and supporting broader economic recovery expectations. Analysts believe improving macro conditions could create additional upside for copper prices while also boosting valuations for mining equities. Copper’s resilience continues to rest on three major demand drivers: the global energy transition, rapid AI infrastructure expansion, and rising military-related consumption. These trends are colliding with persistent supply shortages, tightening the market further. On the supply side, production from major miners weakened again in…

US DOE Says Hydrogen Energy Fuel Could Be Produced Cheaply

Green hydrogen was once promoted as a breakthrough solution for cutting global carbon emissions, especially in hard-to-decarbonize industries such as steelmaking, shipping, and heavy manufacturing. This is because hydrogen produces only water vapor when burned, and it has been viewed as a cleaner alternative to coal and oil-based fuels. However, the sector has struggled to meet expectations due to high production costs and slow project development. Most of the world’s hydrogen is still produced using fossil fuels, mainly natural gas, which limits its environmental benefits. Producing hydrogen through renewable energy sources, known as green hydrogen, remains expensive and inefficient in many cases. Researchers have also argued that renewable electricity may…

Shrinking Inventories Position Platinum for Price Gains

Platinum prices have recently lost some momentum and remain below the $2,000-per-ounce level despite an earlier rally.

This volume makes up less than three months of worldwide demand, highlighting a growing supply imbalance. The council’s CEO, Trevor Raymond, stated that platinum continues to offer an attractive…
