The price of gold rose as optimism grew that the U.S. economy could avoid a “hard landing” given the actions of the Fed to rein in inflation. Bucking a trend in which gold has seen losses on a weekly basis since February, this week saw the precious metal gain 1% at the start of the week. The jobs data released in the United States contributed to this bullishness as the statistics indicated that it was unlikely that the country would slide into stagflation, a situation characterized by high inflation coupled with minimal economic growth. Austan Goosbee, president of the Chicago…

Near-Record Prices at LME Prompt Chinese Companies to Export 100,000 Tons of Copper

Porphyry Deposits Throw Triple Winning Punch with Silver, Gold, Copper Deposits

Gold, silver and copper have been performing well recently, with their prices increasing as each day goes by.

This is primarily because these deposits house a lot of copper, among other minerals. For instance, the Escondida mine in Chile is the biggest copper mine globally, with 40-year mine life. It is expected that copper, silver and gold motherlodes will bring in huge returns if a commodity super cycle occurs. Motherlodes are principal zones or veins…

Copper Shortages Crucial to Expected Price Increases

The unexpected deficit in global copper supplies through 2024 will be critical to maintaining the metal's price increases through the year. As 2023 drew to a close, two major copper mines closed down and cut down expected copper supplies by a wide margin, plunging the global supply chain into an unexpected deficit that eventually caused a surge in copper prices. This upward momentum pushed copper prices to such a high degree they almost reached the $10,000 per metric ton mark that is expected to be supported through the rest of the year by impending copper shortages. Increased expectations of a…
