Gold Rallies As Dollar Weakens, Though Headwinds Persist

Gold prices moved slightly higher at the start of the week as the U.S. dollar weakened, making the precious metal more attractive to overseas buyers. However, gains remained limited due to rising Treasury yields and surging oil prices, both of which intensified concerns over inflation and the possibility of tighter monetary policy. Spot gold climbed to $4,548.14 an ounce in afternoon trading after earlier touching its lowest level since late March. Meanwhile, U.S. gold futures for June delivery ended marginally lower at $4,558 per ounce. The U.S. dollar index slipped 0.3% against other foreign currencies, helping support gold by reducing its cost for holders of other currencies. Analysts noted…

Copper Prices Near Record Levels as Sulfur Shortage Bites

Copper prices have surged above $14,000 per ton, approaching historic highs as a global sulfur shortage disrupts supply chains and intensifies pressure on an already tight market. The rally reflects a combination of geopolitical tensions, production setbacks, and rapidly growing demand from artificial intelligence and defense industries. A major trigger has been the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, which disrupted exports of sulfur and sulfuric acid, both critical materials used in copper refining processes such as heap leaching and SX-EW. Gulf countries account for roughly a quarter of global sulfur supply and a significant share of sulfuric acid trade,…

Study Reveals More Efficient Method for Producing Hydrogen from Water

Scientists have introduced a newly engineered catalyst that may significantly reduce the cost of hydrogen production, improving the practicality of renewable energy storage systems. Hydrogen is widely regarded as a clean energy source because it can store renewable electricity and generates no carbon emissions when used. However, large-scale hydrogen production has been difficult to achieve economically since most current electrolyzers depend on rare and costly platinum-group metals. Developing affordable alternatives with comparable performance is essential for expanding clean energy technologies. A team of researchers led by Washington University’s Prof. Gang Wu has now designed a promising new catalyst that could…
