Lahontan Gold Corp. (TSX.V: LG) (OTCQB: LGCXF) (FSE:Y2F) Expands Its Nevada Land Package as Gold Trades Near Record Highs

Disseminated on behalf of Lahontan Gold Corp. and may include paid advertising.

Gold is trading near historic highs, and investors are looking for developers who can turn that price strength into real ounces in the…

Focus Shifts to Renewables Integration as the Energy Transition Speeds Up

The global transition to clean energy is entering a new stage. Utilities are increasingly shifting investment away from simply adding solar and wind capacity and toward the infrastructure needed to integrate growing volumes of renewable electricity into power systems. Across Asia, Europe, Latin America, Africa, and Oceania, demand for grid equipment and batteries continues to rise, even as purchases of solar systems continue to ease from previous highs. The trend suggests that the focus is moving from generating more renewable power to ensuring existing capacity can be used efficiently and reliably. Solar deployment has expanded rapidly in recent years, leaving…

Gold’s Trajectory is Breaking Away from Traditional Correlations

Gold is displaying unusual strength despite a combination of market conditions that would traditionally be expected to weigh heavily on its price. The greenback has strengthened, the Fed remains restrictive, and the 10-year Treasury yield has climbed toward 5.2%, a level not seen in roughly two decades. Under historical relationships, such a rise in Treasury yields should have placed considerable downward pressure on gold. An analysis indicates that, all other factors held constant, a 25bps rise in the yield on 10-year bonds can correspond with approximately a 1.7% drop in the precious metal. Based on that relationship, gold would theoretically…

Greenland Mines Ltd. (NASDAQ: GRML) Management Outlines Pipeline, Path from Exploration to Production

Company president notes access to NA capital and finance experts, key management team and deep operational, logistical and technical expertise. The company's first project is Skaergaard, a deposit dominated by palladium and gold. Greenland Mines’ second project, Sarfartoq, targets neodymium and praseodymium, two rare earth elements used in powerful magnets. China mines more than two-thirds of the world's rare earth elements and processes up to 90% of them. That concentration concerns Western governments and manufacturers alike. Export controls from Beijing have already pushed up prices and disrupted supply chains for the magnets used in cars, wind turbines and defense systems.…

Copper Prices Seem to Be Positioning for a Significant Upswing

The price of copper appears to be building the foundation for another potentially significant advance, with the technical picture pointing to possibly higher prices, if the metal can overcome an important resistance level. The setup begins with a notable reversal in copper's recent price action. At the start of this month, the red metal briefly slipped beneath a trendline that had been drawn from its March low. A break below such a trendline can often signal that an established upward structure is losing momentum. In this case, however, copper quickly reclaimed the line, moving back above it just three sessions…

Disseminated on behalf of Lahontan Gold Corp. (TSX.V: LG) (OTCQB: LGCXF) and may include paid advertising.

StanChart Says Structural Factors are Supporting Gold as Fed Hikes Rates

Gold is becoming less sensitive to higher real interest rates, with Standard Chartered highlighting that longer-term structural factors are increasingly helping support the precious metal despite the current Federal Reserve stance. In a recent precious metals report, the company’s Head of Commodities Research Suki Cooper explained that gold had already recovered from the Federal Reserve’s rate increase last week. According to Cooper, investor attention is gradually moving beyond near-term policy toward various concerns, among them currency debasement, de-dollarization, and potential market intervention. While the precious metal is likely to remain volatile, continued purchases by central banks globally and other official-sector…

Strong Dollar Weighs on Gold Prices

Last week saw the prices of silver and gold ease in London as a stronger U.S. dollar reduced the precious metals’ recent gains. The greenback climbed to its highest level since late July, while government bonds and stocks globally also retreated after their post-Federal Reserve rebound. Gold priced in U.S. dollars ended the week almost unchanged, while silver maintained much of its recent advance at around $66.30 an ounce, nearly $2 higher. U.S. Treasury yields also moved higher, with the benchmark 10-year yield returning above 5%. That matched the high reached before the Federal Reserve’s latest meeting. The Fed raised…

Fed Rate Hike Triggers Drop in Gold Prices

Following a recent meeting conducted by the U.S. Federal Open Market Committee, gold prices came under renewed selling pressure after interest rates rose by 25 basis points. The decision lifted the Federal Funds Target Range to 3.75%–4% and provided fresh support to the dollar, which weighed on the precious metal. The rate increase was widely observed by financial markets because higher U.S. interest rates can reduce the appeal of gold relative to interest-bearing assets. Unlike government bonds, money-market instruments and other fixed-income investments, gold does not generate regular interest or dividend payments. As a result, the opportunity cost of holding…
