Greenland Mines Ltd. (NASDAQ: GRML) Advances World-Class Palladium Deposit with Major Resource Upgrade

The combination of a structurally concentrated supply base, rising geopolitical risk from the dominant Russian supplier, and persistent demand from the automotive sector creates a clear rationale for Western nations to secure alternative sources of palladium. The latest news from Greenland Mines confirms that its Skaergaard project just became more valuable. The 2026 field season is already underway at Skaergaard, with drilling, bulk sampling for metallurgical test work, geotechnical measurements, engineering studies and environmental baseline all in progress. Palladium is one of the most strategically important metals on earth, and the supply chain that delivers it to Western manufacturers has never been…

Copper Prices Rally as China Demand Ticks Upwards

Copper prices advanced at the start of this week as improving demand from China, coupled with tightening global inventories, fueled renewed buying interest in the industrial metal. The benchmark copper contract on the London Metal Exchange climbed to $13,633 per metric ton. Market sentiment was lifted after data showed China's refined copper imports reached a nine-month high last month, highlighting stronger consumption in the world's largest copper market. Higher imports were also supported by reduced domestic output as several smelters underwent maintenance. The East Asian country's appetite for imported copper has strengthened significantly, with the Yangshan copper premium rising to $100 per ton last week, its highest level in 14 months, according to…

China’s Coal Output Drops Dramatically After Mine Collapse

Coal production in China suffered its biggest monthly decline in a decade after a deadly explosion occurred in a mine in Shanxi province. Shanxi province accounts for one-quarter of the country’s coal production, in addition to being the biggest supplier of coking coal, which is utilized in the manufacture of steel. The explosion triggered widespread safety inspections and temporary closures of mines across the country’s coal-producing region. In June, the East Asian nation produced 381 million tons of coal, representing a more than 9% decline as compared to last year’s figures for the month of June. The Liushenyu mine explosion occurred towards the end of May and led to 82 fatalities. Investigations uncovered safety violations at the site,…

Gold Consolidates as Markets Shift to Longer-Term Prospects

Gold prices continue to trade within a relatively narrow range, struggling to build enough momentum to rise above $4,100 an ounce. However, according to Saxo Bank’s Head of Commodity Strategy, Ole Hansen, the current consolidation should not be viewed as a sign of weakness. Instead, it suggests that investors are increasingly focusing on longer-term economic trends rather than reacting to short-term market volatility. Despite renewed geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, gold has remained remarkably stable. The collapse of peace negotiations between the United States and Iran has led to renewed military exchanges, driving crude oil prices above $80 a barrel. While rising oil prices have traditionally boosted gold through increased inflation…

Copper’s Rally is Misaligned with Market Fundamentals, Macquarie Says

This past week saw the price of copper climb to around $13,800 a ton, supported by easing oil prices after renewed hopes of U.S.-Iran negotiations and fresh U.S. tariff proposals targeting downstream copper products. However, Macquarie Strategy believes the recent rally is no longer supported by underlying market fundamentals. In its latest commodities report, the bank argues that investor optimism has outpaced physical market conditions. Rather than reflecting a genuine shortage of copper, the recent price gains have been driven largely by speculative positioning, short covering and trade flows linked to anticipated U.S. trade measures. Macquarie notes that the global copper market remains well supplied. Since 2025 began, visible inventories have increased by over 870,000 tons,…

Hawkish Comments from Fed Governor Push Gold Prices Lower

As this week started, gold extended its losses after Christopher Waller, a Federal Reserve Governor, made hawkish comments that had been unexpected. He suggested that it was likely for the Fed to increase benchmark lending rates just as it was likely for the institution to lower rates during its next sitting. Markets reacted promptly to these comments and gold prices slid by at least 3%. Bullion was priced at $3,994 an ounce as the week’s trading started. The CME FedWatch Tool indicated a 45% likelihood of a rate hike in July. This was a sharp rise from the 35% chance that had been priced in prior to these hawkish statements. Traders gave…

US DOE Funds Extraction of REEs from Coal

The Office of Critical Minerals and Energy Innovation, under the U.S. Department of Energy, has committed $75 million to 5 projects aimed at recovering rare earth elements and other critical minerals. The funding will be allocated under the Domestic Industrial Facilities program, with the selected projects establishing pilot-scale facilities designed to convert coal byproducts into commercially viable critical minerals, strengthening domestic processing capabilities. According to Audrey Robertson, coal and its byproducts represent an underutilized resource that could contribute significantly to U.S. industrial supply chains. The assistant secretary of energy explains that supporting these pilot projects will expand domestic critical mineral…
