Canadian Province B.C. Looks into Establishing Copper Smelter to Boost its Economy

British Columbia, a Canadian province known for its vast coastline, diverse culture, mountains and rainforests, is looking into the potential of constructing a copper refinery and smelter. These developments come after Thomas Codrington, British Consul General in Vancouver, encouraged the province to expand its mining capabilities. In his statement, he argued that doing so would reassure partners like the United Kingdom by cutting dependence on outside refiners who had the power to dictate pricing. The provincial and federal governments seem to agree, having recently announced this past week that they’d be evaluating the feasibility and possible locations for a red metal processing facility.

How USD Fluctuations are Affecting the Gold Market

Gold prices typically move in an inverse relationship with the U.S. Dollar. This means that when the dollar gains strength, gold often becomes less expensive for holders of the greenback and more expensive for foreign buyers. This leads to softer demand and lower bullion prices. Conversely, when the dollar weakens, gold sees its price increase as it becomes cheaper and more attractive to holders of foreign currencies. Recent changes in the U.S. dollar’s value once again demonstrated this inverse connection, as movements in the currency were followed by positive upward movements in the gold market. Earlier this week, the price…

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…
