Provisional liquidator of Zambia’s KCM suspended – official

Official Receiver Natasha Kalimukwa suspended Lungu after receiving a complaint from ZCCM-IH “relating to contract mismanagement, financial mismanagement, and asset mismanagement”, she said in a statement.

Electric vehicles are scarce and expensive as pump prices rise to record highs

Spiking gasoline prices have increased Americans’ monthly bills to fuel popular pickups and SUVs by hundreds of dollars, leading more consumers to kick the tires on electric vehicles. There’s just one problem: there aren’t many such wheels to boot. Electric vehicles are in short supply in showrooms that have struggled to rebuild inventory of vehicles for more than a year, largely due to the global chip shortage. As of late last month, there were fewer than 2,200 Ford Mustang Mach-Es available in the U.S., according to Cox Automotive. Volkswagen AG… Read More Here

Russian gold hit with de facto ban from key London market

London’s gold market suspended all Russian refineries from its accredited list, meaning their newly minted bars can no longer trade in one of the world’s most important bullion centers.

Existing bars produced by the refiners before their suspension will still be accepted.  The decision amounts to a de facto ban on new Russian gold bars… Read More Here
