Tight Liquidity Causes Gold to Stutter as 2026 Gets Started

A recent analysis has determined that prices of gold dropped in the first trading sessions of the year, with spot gold dropping by over 4%. While prices did start the week at a low of $4,274 an ounce, they recovered slightly, increasing to $4,542 an ounce by the week’s end. This is quite a decrease from the highs recorded last year when prices rose by almost 65% year-on-year. The rally was partly driven by decreasing inflation concerns and a weaker greenback. Expectations that the Fed would begin reducing rates of interest also helped drive the rally, with many expecting the Federal Reserve to cut rates at least twice this year. Lower rates of interest usually decrease the opportunity cost…

Analysts Say $210bn Investment is Needed to Boost Copper Mining

A recent report has determined that by 2035, the global demand for copper shall have hit 42.7 million tons annually, representing a 24% increase. The report highlights that electrification initiatives like electric car production and renewable energy systems are driving long-term demand growth that extends well beyond conventional construction and industrial uses. To meet this demand, analysts argue that roughly 8 million tons of new capacity will be needed from brownfield and greenfield mining projects annually, in addition to 3.5 million tons from improved utilization of scrap copper. In total, $210 billion in new investment is needed over the next 10 years to close the widening imbalance between the red metal’s demand and available supply. This need for investment is further underscored by recent market developments. During his address at LME Week…

Supply Constraints Position Platinum for a Strong 2026

In 2025, investors primarily focused on precious metals like silver and gold as geopolitical tensions intensified and inflationary pressures persisted. Analysts now argue that attention should also extend to platinum and palladium as supply constraints increasingly come into focus. Last year saw strong gains across the precious metals complex, with silver prices rising by nearly 150%, palladium advancing by about 80%, and platinum climbing more than 126%. With demand expected to rise as supply conditions tighten, palladium and platinum prices are expected to remain supported through 2026. About 80% of demand for platinum group metals comes from the automotive sector, where they’re used in catalytic converters in internal combustion engines. While the growing adoption of electric vehicles did slightly affect the demand for these devices, TD Securities analysts expect demand…
