Global gold demand declines 7% in Q3 — report

Gold demand (excluding OTC) fell 7% year-on-year to 831 tonnes globally during Q3 2021, according to the World Gold Council’s latest report. This drop was almost exclusively driven by ETFs – which swung from very large inflows in Q3 2020 to modest outflows this year – overshadowing strength in other sectors of demand during the quarter, the Council said. Jewellery, technology and bar and coin were significantly higher than in 2020, data showed. Modest central bank purchases were also a solid improvement on the small net sale from Q3 2020.

Copper becoming increasingly important as electric vehicle industry grows

Commodities like copper are becoming increasingly important as the electric vehicle industry grows.

Given the expectation that the industry will boom as more widespread electric vehicle (EV) production ramps up, the copper opportunities in countries like Zambia will become increasingly important.

Congo’s economic growth rises on mining sector performance

The International Monetary Fund on Wednesday revised upward this year’s economic growth forecast for the Democratic Republic of Congo to 5.4% due largely to higher-than-expected mining production.

The agreement, which would allow the loan programme to move forward, must be approved by the IMF’s executive board in December.
