Ann Arbor Moves to Create its Own Renewables Utility

Over in Michigan, in the city of Ann Arbor, a new approach to clean energy is taking shape through the creation of a Sustainable Energy Utility (SEU). This is a program run by the city, designed to work alongside the existing private utility rather than replace it. The initiative aims to accelerate the transition to renewable energy while improving affordability and reliability for residents. The SEU model allows households and businesses to opt in voluntarily. While participants are still connected to the traditional power grid, they will also receive city-installed clean energy systems such as solar panels and battery storage. These systems are owned and maintained by the city, with customers paying a monthly fee for the energy…

Precious Metal Prices Under Pressure as Risk Appetite Increases

Weaker prices were recorded for gold and silver at the start of this week, though both metals had recovered somewhat from their session lows. The decline was driven in part by a drop in crude oil prices and a strong rebound in U.S. equity markets. Concerns that the Middle East conflict could fuel higher inflation have also dampened demand for the precious metals. Latest figures show that April gold futures had dropped to $5,005.30. Risk sentiment in broader markets has also begun improving, coinciding with comments from U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessent during a recent interview in Paris. During the interview, Bessent revealed that some oil tankers, including vessels from India and Iran, were continuing to move through the Strait of Hormuz. Following his remarks, stock markets rallied…

Advances in Domestic Heavy Rare Earth Minerals Production Essential for North American Defense Stockpiles

MiningNewsWire Editorial Coverage: Rare earth metallization sits deep in the industrial stack, but it is one of the steps that determines whether advanced manufacturing can actually function at scale. China’s dominance over rare earth refining, metallization and magnet production has left automakers, electronics manufacturers, robotics developers, defense contractors and data-center-adjacent industrial supply chains exposed to a single concentrated source. That exposure helps explain why companies such as REalloys (NASDAQ: ALOY) (Profile) are drawing attention – The company is working to rebuild a North American mine-to-magnet platform that links feedstock, processing, metallization and magnet manufacturing, with operations centered in Ohio and upstream…

Dollar Surge Weighs on Gold’s Rally

Towards the end of last week, spot gold has moved lower and is on track to record a second straight weekly decline. The downturn is largely linked to a sharp rise in the U.S. Dollar Index, which climbed to its strongest level since May 2025. A stronger dollar typically weighs on gold prices because the metal becomes more expensive for buyers using foreign currencies. Concerns about inflation tied to the escalating tensions between Iran and the United States, along with expectations that the Federal Reserve could delay its first interest rate cut of the year until at least Q3, have also provided support for the dollar while limiting gold’s upside. Although gold’s broader outlook still appears positive, the…
