Gold’s haven appeal burnished by drumbeat of growth warnings

Gold could be heading for another rally, with warnings over a global economic slowdown paving the way for a fresh push toward $2 000/oz. A potent mix of decades-high inflation, geopolitical turmoil and growing talk of recession should be bullish for the traditional haven, according to speakers interviewed ahead of a precious metals conference in Singapore this week. Bullion is down about 10% from a peak in mid-March, after the concerns that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine might sprawl into a broader conflict dissipated. But with top banking executives now warning… Read More Here

Copper price slips after new China lockdowns

The copper price slipped on Thursday after parts of Shanghai began imposing new covid lockdown restrictions. Entertainment venues and internet cafes in Beijing’s largest district of Chaoyang, home to more than 3 million people, were ordered to be shut on Thursday after an outbreak involving bars was detected. Copper for delivery in July fell 1.8% from Wednesday’s settlement, touching $4.374 per pound ($9,623 per tonne) at lunchtime Thursday on the Comex market in New York. Offering some relief, data on Thursday showed China’s exports grew at a double-digit pace in… Read More Here

Uganda says exploration results show it has 31 million tonnes of gold ore

Uganda on Wednesday said recent exploration surveys have shown it has gold ore deposits of about 31 million tonnes and it wants to attract big investors to develop the sector hitherto dominated by small wildcat miners. Over the last two years, aerial exploration was done across the country followed by geophysical and geochemical surveys and analyses, Solomon Muyita, spokesperson for the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Development, told Reuters. Muyita said an estimated 320,158 tonnes of refined gold could be extracted from the 31 million tonnes of ore. Most of… Read More Here

Congo’s Oil Block Sale Threatens Carbon Sinks, Forest Pact

The Democratic Republic of Congo’s plan to auction oil exploration blocks next month threatens to disrupt some of the world’s most important carbon sinks and could jeopardize a $500 million forest preservation agreement. Some of the blocks, estimated to contain 16 billion barrels of crude reserves, overlap with the biggest tropical peatlands that cover 145,000 square kilometers (56,000 square miles) and store about 30 billion tons of carbon — equivalent to about 82% of annual global carbon dioxide emissions. So-called carbon sinks help mitigate greenhouse-gas emissions from burning fossil fuels and… Read More Here

Gold price may be set to rise – but so are risks for miners

Amid the frenzied analyses of supply, demand and spiking prices for green metals and critical minerals, another metal may be preparing to steal the spotlight: gold.  While the price of gold spiked earlier this year to $2,068 per oz. (just shy of its August 2020 all-time high) on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, it hasn’t stayed at those elevated levels. At press time Wednesday, the yellow metal was at a relatively modest $1,850 per oz., just a touch above where it began the year at $1,827.50 per oz.  However, persistent inflation,… Read More Here

China ban on foreign coal investment leaves Zimbabwe scrambling

Zimbabwe’s plan to refurbish two idled coal-fired power stations has been thrown into disarray by China’s decision to ban investment in plants burning the dirtiest fossil fuel outside its borders. Zimbabwe was depending on China to help get the Bulawayo Power Station, which has a design capacity of 90 megawatts, and Munyati Power Station, meant to generate 100 megawatts, to produce electricity to fill a chronic shortfall in the southern African country. “There is no funding for coal plants,” Sydney Gata, the chairman of state-owned Zesa Holdings Ltd., said in… Read More Here
