While traders buy Bitcoin and Ethereum at any sign of a dip, rumors are circulating in the market that the SEC might soon give the green light to several ETFs, including those for XRP and SOL. After the Securities and Exchange Commission approved general listing standards for crypto ETFs and a number of amended Solana fund filings were submitted, many speculate that a wave of new crypto ETFs is about to reach its peak. According to rumors, Solana ETF approval could come as soon as next week. This optimism is driven not only by regulatory shifts, but also by the successful launch of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, which have demonstrated the maturity of the crypto market an…

However, the US dollar is also rising, judging by market movements over the last month and a half. A paradox? No. It's the objective reality at this time. Demand for the currency has been steadily increasing for almost two months. Let me remind you that one and a half months of this period coincided with the "shutdown" in America, which cannot be considered a positive for the American economy. In early October, Donald Trump imposed new tariffs on imports of trucks, pharmaceuticals, and certain types of furniture. As a result, a "shutdown" was added to the trade war, which had already put significant pressure on the US currency in the first half of the year. Additionally, …

The prospect of a new round of monetary policy easing is supported not only by the FedWatch tool, economic data, and global events but also by the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) members themselves. It is no secret that at least three members of the FOMC are ready to support a rate cut at every meeting. These three are Christopher Waller, Michelle Bowman, and Stephen Miran. Each of them, to some extent, is a "protege" of Trump. However, at least one more member has joined them, who believes that the rate should be lowered. This is John Williams, the president of the New York Federal Reserve Bank. He stated that he was not impressed by the September payroll data and t…

Bolivia’s energy minister was drenched with water and pelted with garbage on Thursday as chaos erupted in congress during a heated debate over lithium contracts with Chinese and Russian firms, worth a potential $2 billion in investments. The deals, signed in 2023 and 2024, are with China’s CBC consortium, which includes battery giant CATL—and Russia’s Uranium One Group, a subsidiary of state nuclear company Rosatom. These contracts aim to establish direct lithium extraction (DLE) facilities in the Salar de Uyuni, part of the vast Lithium Triangle shared with Chile and Argentina. Parliamentary debate was suspended in February after mounting public outcry, followed …

Another round of tensions have arised in Eastern Europe since this weekend's largest ever attacks from Russia towards Ukraine. For the first time, Russia launched drones into Poland (from Belarus) and marks one of the first times a NATO and EU member gets attacked since the beginning of the 2022 conflict. Close to 20 drones were launched and EU Countries jumped to intervene which prevented most impacts except for one polish house that got damaged. Poland invokes article 4 to assemble NATO leaders and we should see what arises from here. A prolonged war in Eastern Europe adds to disruptions in the Oil Market but with Russia flooding its buyers with super cheap petrol, …

In a wide-ranging conversation with former Navy SEAL and YouTuber Shawn Ryan, Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson laid out the philosophical roots of crypto, linking blockchain directly to the ideals of liberty, trust, and decentralized power. The interview also drew some controversy about whether Hoskinson is a liar as he talked about his days as a secret agent in DARPA and the time he jumped out of an Apache helicopter. As one Twitter user wrote: “You really need to listen to all five hours of it for those out of context antics to make sense and to really understand the human side of Charles. You know, not just the genius entrepreneur archetype you’re familiar with.” …

Veteran chartist Peter Brandt has shifted his view on XRP, moving from a short-lived bearish stance to a more positive outlook as the token tries to recover from a sharp market drop. According to recent reports, XRP fell to $1.55 Friday, Oct. 10 during the sell-off, then bounced back into the mid-$2 range as traders reassessed the situation. Brandt Revises Technical Take Brandt shared a long-term weekly chart covering 2013 to 2025. The chart shows years of sideways action that formed large triangle shapes before big moves. Between 2014 and 2017, XRP was held inside a symmetrical triangle and then broke out in March 2017, which preceded a run up to $3.30 by January 201…

EV battery manufacturers based in China, South Korea and Japan have almost complete control of the global market and it’s not changing any time soon. During the first quarter of 2025 a combined $3.01 billion worth of battery metals were contained in the packs of newly sold EVs worldwide, up a modest 1.3% year over year. The stagnant costs of the EV metal basket is great news for cell suppliers and battery manufacturers as demand for raw material continues to boom. The tonnes of graphite, lithium, nickel, cobalt and manganese deployed during the first three months was up a robust 27% year on year to a combined 428.2 kilotonnes, according to data from EV supply cha…

Like lithium and cobalt, nickel prices have been on a wild ride since forecasts of electric vehicle demand for battery materials first entered the stratosphere and duly came back to earth. In March 2022 two “big shots” of the metals trading world – Paul Singer of hedge fund Elliot and Xiang Guangda of Chinese nickel giant Tsingshan – faced off over short positions that led to a spike above $100,000 per tonne in a matter of minutes. Over $12 billion in cancelled trades, lawsuits and a rethink of nickel trading on the LME ensued but the effect on the ground was short lived and limited. Nickel sulphate entering the EV battery supply did reach more than $30,00…

Open money pit. At the end of the second quarter, the MINING.COM TOP 50 ranking of the world’s most valuable miners reached a combined market capitalization of $1.49 trillion, up just over $100 billion or almost 10% since early April. Nvidia has surged by more than 40% since then becoming the first publicly traded company to hit a $4 trillion evaluation. Comparing the AI chipmaker’s stock valuation to progress in the mining industry’s collective worth which has still not reached the peak hit in the second quarter of 2022 despite record and multi-year price highs for a number of metals remains a head scratcher. Should Nvidia (or Microsoft or Apple for tha…

News this week that the world’s second-biggest lithium miner – SQM – has begun laying off 5% of its Chilean workforce would not come as a surprise to those following the market for the battery raw material. Battery lithium prices have been decimated since reaching a peak less than three years ago with prices slumping to $8,450 a tonne in June from above $80,000 in November 2022. A wait and see approach on production cuts by lithium miners, particularly in China where government support keeps loss-making mines on life support, and slower than expected demand growth from the electric vehicle industry provides little prospect for a return to the boom years. …

Technical analyst Kevin, better known on X as @Kev_Capital_TA, rekindled debate over Dogecoin’s market structure on Sunday when he urged traders to ignore the “non-stop TA on DOGE for engagement purposes” and to concentrate on the two signals that have guided the meme-coin’s price for more than two years. “Not much has changed for Dogecoin here,” he wrote. “Don’t let the other analysts on this platform flood you with non stop TA on DOGE for engagement purposes. We know what to watch for here.” Dogecoin’s Fate Hinges On This Kevin’s view hinges on the weekly chart he posted on 26 June. At that time, Dogecoin (DOGE) was hovering near $0.166—and, according to his chart, sit…

Chevron USA, a subsidiary of Chevron Corporation (NYSE: CVX), became on Tuesday the latest oil major to enter the lithium market in the United States with the acquisition of lease rights to about 125,000 net acres in northeast Texas and southwest Arkansas. The company secured the lithium-rich acreage from TerraVolta Resources and East Texas Natural Resources but did not disclose financial details. “This acquisition represents a strategic investment to support energy manufacturing and expand US-based critical mineral supplies,” Chevron New Energies president Jeff Gustavson said. Chevron follows the lead of other major oil companies, such as ExxonMobil (NYSE: XO…

On September 29, immigration service officers, along with representatives of various law enforcement agencies, entered Chicago to detain illegal immigrants and combat crime. Donald Trump called Chicago the most dangerous city in the world and urged authorities to restore order. Throughout Monday, numerous people were detained, including women with children. Law enforcement continues to patrol the city and carry out mass arrests. Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker commented on the situation. According to him, the role of law enforcement is not to intimidate peaceful residents, and immigration raids do not add order to the city. It should be noted that this is not the first ti…

Chile’s Congress has approved sweeping legislation to slash permitting times for mining and energy projects, aiming to boost investment in the world’s top copper producer and second-largest lithium supplier. The amendments, which passed with 93 votes in favour, 27 against, and 17 abstentions, amends over 40 sectoral regulations and now awaits the president’s signature to become law. The government says it will cut permit processing times by 30% to 70% without lowering environmental or regulatory standards. “This will allow us to substantially reduce permitting times while maintaining our regulatory rigour,” Economy Minister Nicolás Grau said in a statement.

Chile’s environmental regulator has fined Albemarle (NYSE: ALB) nearly $340,000 for violations at its lithium operations in the Atacama salt flat, escalating tensions between the world’s top lithium producer and Chilean authorities. The Superintendence of the Environment (SMA) said Albemarle exceeded its approved water extraction limits between October 2019 and September 2020, drawing an average of 452.3 litres per second, which is above what was authorized under its environmental permit. The regulator also found the North Carolina-based company failed to follow required safeguards under its Aquifer Alert Sector plan in early 2021, including not reporting the act…

On November 16, Chileans will head to the polls to elect their next president, who will govern until 2030 and, in doing so, set the course for the country’s most important economic engine: its mining sector. At stake is the future of Codelco, the state-owned copper giant that helped build modern Chile but is now drowning in debt, stuck with aging infrastructure and recovering from years of production declines. Once a source of national pride, Codelco has been teetering on the edge of an industrial crisis. As of December last year, the company’s debt has ballooned to over $20 billion and production was slowly edging higher after hitting a 25-year low in 2022. …

On December 14, Chileans elect a new president who will govern until 2030 and shape the country’s most important economic engine: mining. Voters face a stark choice between Jeannette Jara, a Communist Party stalwart and former labour minister under current President Gabriel Boric, and José Antonio Kast, founder of the ultra-conservative Republican Party. Security and illegal migration now dominate public concern, but the future of state copper giant Codelco sits at the centre of the economic stakes. The company, once the backbone of Chile’s modern economy, is drowning in debt, burdened by aging infrastructure and only beginning to rebound from years of production …

China has achieved a technological breakthrough in the production of rubidium, the South China Morning Post has reported, as Beijing looks to expand its dominance in the critical minerals supply chain. According to the SCMP, scientists from the Qinghai Institute of Salt Lakes (ISL), part of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), have developed a method to extract ultra-pure rubidium from brine for the first time. In a new study cited by SCMP, the ISL researchers revealed that they were able to produce rubidium chloride at 99.9% purity of from potassium chloride material containing just 0.001% rubidium. This breakthrough, if followed up, would bolster China’s d…

Overview: After yesterday's setback in North America, the greenback remains under modest pressure today. It is lower against all the G10 currencies. The dollar also is softer against most emerging market currencies. The dollar was fixed at a new low for the year against the Chinese yuan. The yuan has a five-day advance in tow, the longest rally since last September. Today, the US raises $185 bln in bills and sells $44 bln seven-year notes. The US sees a possible slight upward revision in Q2 GDP (3.1% vs. 3.0%) and weekly jobless claims. Federal Reserve Governor Waller speaks after the markets closed. The large equity markets in the Asia Pacific region were mixed. The ral…

The topic of a fresh round of confrontation between China and the United States has been discussed endlessly—yet there's simply no other issue commanding more attention in the market at the moment. As I've said numerous times before, the biggest problem is the lack of clarity. Market participants have no idea what kind of developments to expect. The "trade truce" between China and the U.S. is set to expire on November 10. I use quotation marks intentionally, because in reality, there is no truce. Journalists were quick to label the reciprocal reduction in tariffs a "ceasefire." But by late October, can anyone honestly speak of peace between Beijing and Washington? This tr…

China has rolled out tighter controls on the mining and processing of rare earths by extending its quota system to include imported materials and requiring enterprises to report on the flow of strategic minerals regularly. According to documents from departments led by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT), the new provisions stipulate that China’s quota system would apply not only to domestically produced rare earths, but also to those coming from abroad for refining. China currently leads the global production of rare earths—a group of 17 elements that are essential to a wide range of high-tech and green technologies, including electronics, …
