Study Group Offers Insights on the Conflicting Signals within Copper Markets

Following January’s surge to record highs, copper prices have entered a more cautious phase, reacting closely to developments surrounding the Iran crisis. The ongoing closure of the Strait of Hormuz presents a paradox for the market, creating both upward and downward pressure on prices. On one hand, the Gulf region is a key supplier of sulfur, a critical input for producing sulfuric acid used in copper extraction processes such as solvent extraction and electrowinning, which account for roughly a quarter of global refined output. Any disruption in supply supports higher prices. On the other hand, rising energy costs linked to the crisis threaten to slow global manufacturing, weakening…

Study Shows Careful Wind Energy Location Can Spare Scenic Landscapes

A recent study highlights how careful planning of wind farm locations across Europe can help preserve visually appealing landscapes without significantly raising electricity generation costs. While this finding is encouraging at a continental scale, challenges still arise at regional levels where the goals of renewable energy expansion and landscape conservation often overlap. Wind energy plays a crucial role in meeting electricity demand, particularly during winter months when consumption is high. Despite its importance, the growth of wind power has slowed in several European regions. One major reason is public resistance, as wind turbines are often seen as disruptive to scenic…

High Gold Prices Reduce Bullion Demand Among Non-Investors

Surging gold prices in early 2026 significantly weakened non-investment demand for the metal, particularly in the jewelry sector. As gold prices climbed above $5,000 per ounce for the first time, many consumers reduced purchases of gold for personal and decorative use. Reports from the World Gold Council indicate that jewelry demand, together with industrial and technological use, dropped sharply during the first quarter of the year. Excluding recycled gold and scrap sales, global non-investment demand fell to just above 50 tons, marking one of the weakest quarterly performances outside the Covid-19 lockdown period of 2020. Despite the decline in consumer use, investment demand for gold remained strong. Purchases…

Should You Buy Gold After Its Price Pullback?

Gold has retreated about 15% from its start of the year peak of $5,589 an ounce and is now trading near $4,700. For long-term investors, this kind of decline within an ongoing bull market has historically been more of an entry point than a warning. The key forces that pushed gold higher, like persistent inflation, strong central bank demand, currency debasement, and geopolitical uncertainty, are still firmly in place. Market corrections like this are not unusual, especially given that gold has never moved in a straight line. During the 2008 financial crisis, prices dropped sharply before rallying to new highs…
