Silver, Gold Prices Retreat as Markets React to Warsh’s Jackson Hole Speech

Silver and gold exchange-traded funds faced significant selling pressure at the end of last month as investors reacted to a shift in expectations surrounding U.S. monetary policy. Precious-metal-linked products declined sharply during the session, with some gold and silver ETFs losing more than 3%. The weakness followed comments from U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh at Jackson Hole, which were interpreted by markets as more hawkish than previously expected. The latest decline has put the strong rally in precious metals under renewed scrutiny. Gold and silver have delivered substantial gains, prompting investors to reassess whether the current pullback represents a…

China Bets Big on Green Hydrogen

China is rapidly expanding its green hydrogen industry, making it one of the world’s biggest bets on a fuel seen as important to the global energy transition. Since the end of 2024, China has more than tripled its annual operational green hydrogen capacity to nearly 250,000 tons. This is more than double the combined capacity of the rest of the world. Under its latest five-year plan, Beijing aims to raise production to about 2 million tons annually by 2030. China’s strategy is supported by two major advantages: its enormous industrial base and its growing supply of renewable electricity. Industries such as steel, cement and chemicals remain difficult…

Gold Flashes New Technical Warning, Warranting Caution

Gold is showing a fresh technical warning after climbing above $4,750 an ounce as the latest surge indicates that the market’s momentum could be reaching stretched levels. Although the metal’s overall recovery remains strong, the rapid pace of gains has made the outlook more challenging for investors. Continued strength across precious metals is reinforcing the bullish trend, but elevated momentum readings point to the possibility of a period of consolidation or some profit-taking. Gold briefly rose above $4,750 last week, reaching its strongest level since mid-May, before easing back toward $4,663. Despite the pullback from the recent high, the metal…

Ivanhoe Close to Inking $1.1 Billion Loan from Exim Bank

Ivanhoe Electric, a mineral exploration and extraction firm, may soon secure $1.1 billion in debt financing from the U.S. Export-Import Bank for the development of its Santa Cruz copper project in Arizona. The project is located roughly 65 kilometers southeast of Phoenix and is expected to become one of the first major new copper mines in the U.S. in nearly two decades. This comes as demand for the red metal continues to rise globally. Just recently, the U.S. Export-Import Bank (EXIM) increased the potential loan by roughly one-third from the amount outlined in its letter of interest from last year, following completion of its preliminary due diligence. The financing development comes shortly after President Donald Trump expressed support for funding Santa Cruz during a mining roundtable at the State Department earlier this month. …

Gold’s Resilience Signals a Changing Market as Lahontan Gold Advances Santa Fe Toward Potential 2027 Restart

Disseminated on behalf of Lahontan Gold Corp. (TSX.V: LG) (OTCQB: LGCXF) and may include paid advertising. Gold has demonstrated remarkable resilience despite periodic pressure from higher bond yields, while central-bank buying, geopolitical uncertainty and concerns surrounding currencies and sovereign debt continue supporting demand for the precious metal.

For Lahontan Gold, a sustained gold market could provide an important backdrop as the company advances its flagship Santa Fe Mine toward a potential return to production in 2027 following a…

Gold, Bitcoin Rally Sharply as US Treasury Buyback Announced

Gold and Bitcoin surged recently as developments in the U.S. bond market, a weaker dollar, and renewed support for cryptocurrency in Washington pushed investors toward alternative assets. Bitcoin, which had fallen from about $95,000 at the start of the year to below $60,000 by the end of June, climbed above $77,000. Gold followed a similar path, rising to $4,661 even as higher interest rates made bonds and other income-producing investments more appealing. The rally began to accelerate last Wednesday after the U.S. Treasury announced plans to substantially increase its purchases of longer-term Treasury securities. The move was designed to ease…

Almost 70% of Exchange-Held Copper Now Sits in the US

The United States consumes roughly 6% of global copper, yet now holds nearly 70% of the copper stored across major global futures exchanges: the London Metal Exchange, COMEX, and the Shanghai Futures Exchange. Ole Hansen, Saxo Bank’s Head of Commodity Strategy, argues that this unusual concentration is largely driven by expectations of America imposing tariffs on imported refined copper. Traders have been moving copper into the U.S. ahead of a possible tariff because metal already inside the country could become more valuable if duties are introduced. This comes after the U.S. Commerce Department proposed gradually increasing tariffs, although the final decision remains pending. At the same time, strong Chinese demand, particularly from the country’s expanding energy-transition industries, is keeping pressure on…
