Uranium is a crucial source of clean, reliable baseload power as nuclear energy, powered by uranium, generates electricity without emitting greenhouse gases during operation. When we look at resources through the lens of geopolitical Spheres of Control, the story is telling. Thanks to Australia and Canada, the Coalition of the Willing commands a dominant 44% share of the world’s uranium resources. This strong position means the West is well endowed with the mineralization it needs to fuel nuclear power for decades to come—if it can move past public resistance that is often a result of legacy impacts from unregulated past practices than in rational assessment of nu…

A fresh round of bold predictions has surfaced in the XRP community after crypto analyst Nick Anderson compared the token’s trajectory to Amazon’s historic breakout more than a decade ago. According to Anderson, the current phase for XRP looks similar to Amazon’s long consolidation period before its massive rally. Amazon’s Long Wait Before Its Breakout Anderson recalled how Amazon shares traded sideways for about 3,800 days after the dot-com crash, stretching from the year 2000 until 2010. During that time, the stock slowly built a base, eventually forming what analysts call a cup-and-handle pattern. When the breakout came, Amazon moved from around $5 to $200, marking…

The Bitcoin price has soared to historic highs this year, but not everyone believes the rally will last. A new warning from a crypto analyst suggests that the world’s largest cryptocurrency could be on the verge of a dramatic price crash, with the possibility of erasing nearly all of its gains and tumbling back to levels not seen in years. Why A 90% Bitcoin Price Crash Could Be Ahead In a recent interview on the David Lin Report, a financial news channel on YouTube, Bloomberg Intelligence senior commodity strategist Mike McGlone issued a stark warning for Bitcoin holders. After years of accurately calling key price levels, including the surge to $100,000, McGlone now pre…

Log in to today's North American session Market wrap for September 5. Today finally met the eternal weeks of waiting for this month's Non-Farm Payrolls release. And the report was not good. You can access the details of the report right here. Markets were preparing to a slowdown after a week of labor data pointing toward a slowdown in hiring and job openings, with rate cut expectations lifting risk-assets from the past week's tumble. However, the harsh reality of tariffs hitting the market may now awaken a deeper fear of a longer-run economic stagnation for the US, as the FED may really have been a bit late to the curve to resume the sparse cutting cycle which deliver…

Smackover Lithium, a joint venture between Standard Lithium (TSXV: SLI) (NYSE.A: SLI) and Norway’s state-owned petroleum company Equinor (NYSE: EQNR), has announced positive results of a definitive feasibility study (DFS) for its South West Arkansas project. Smackover Lithium is developing a greenfield lithium extraction and chemicals production facility in the southwestern region of Arkansas. In January, the JV received a $225 million grant from the US Department of Energy to support the construction of Phase 1 of the South West Arkansas project. The DFS projected initial production capacity of 22,500 tonnes per annum (tpa) of battery-quality lithium carbonate…

Log in to today's North American session Market wrap for September 8. Sentiment was surprisingly positive in today's session with Japanese equities leading risk-assets (appreciating PM Ishiba's resigning?) and a few rebounds in cryptos. Gold and Silver maintain their stellar rise in yet another buying wave. Political turmoil in France and Japan (Prime Ministers getting ousted in both countries) and the Israel-Hamas war continuing have assisted both metals in their ascent. FX movement is still subdued, with Markets awaiting this week's US inflation data to attempt to solve the FED rate cut puzzle. Soft prints could easily point to a 50 bps jumbo-cut to restart the cut c…

Log in to today's North American session Market wrap for September 4. We can blabber all we want about the FED's independence and how it affects markets (in short, it really does, look at metals performance in the past two weeks), but the main idea is that Markets really are just messing around ahead of tomorrow's quintessential Non-Farm Payrolls. About the FED's independence, Stephen Miran, who is currently Chair of the Economic Advisers for the White House, testified as he will be starting to occupy the role left from the recently departed FED Governor Kugler. His testimony was interesting to say the least, very loyal to the Trump Administration's words. One of the m…

This morning saw the release of many data points that are making markets feel a bit easier: ADP Employment (which has been proving its recent accuracy) hasn't missed by a large amount, Unit Labor costs haven't risen much, Claims are higher but by a small margin and the earlier JOLTS (job openings) data is still far from bad. Overall, this week's data is the perfect recipe for the Federal Reserve to adjust their rates at the upcoming meeting (Sep 17), which would help with their current stance. A cut in the middle of a still growing economy would have been perceived as further hurting the FED's independence ; The thing is, the labor market is indeed cooling (but not fall…

Arizona Sonoran Copper (TSX: ASCU) is pressing its Cactus copper project in Arizona toward an updated resource and prefeasibility study (PFS) by year-end while cutting project royalties and shoring up funding. Given the company’s development momentum, shares in the Casa Grande, Arizona- and Toronto-based company appear to be undergoing a re-rating. Its TSX stock nearly doubled this year to an all-time high of C$2.75 apiece before easing to $2.67 near press time for a market capitalization of about C$474 million ($342 million). President and CEO George Ogilvie says the market move, at roughly 0.3 times price-to-net asset value, still leaves “substantial runway for …

Bitcoin has bounced back above $112,000 after slipping to $107,000 last week, its lowest mark since July. The rebound has stirred hope among traders, but analysts remain split on whether the current upswing can hold through September. September’s Track Record Under Scrutiny Historical data shows September hasn’t been kind to Bitcoin during post-halving years. In 2017, the coin ended the month with a close to 8% loss, while in 2021 the decline was 7%. Even further back, in 2013, Bitcoin dropped 1.60% in the same month. That pattern has led some experts to argue that a retest of key technical levels this year is nothing unusual. Benjamin Cowen, head of ITC Crypto, has r…

Ethereum continues to display resilience in the face of recent volatility, holding firmly above the $4,200 level. Despite this strength, ETH has yet to break decisively above $4,500—a critical barrier that would confirm the next leg of its uptrend. Instead, selling pressure is mounting as the broader market feels the weight of profit-taking and uncertainty, leaving traders on edge about the short-term outlook. Still, Ethereum’s fundamentals remain robust. Institutions and large players are stepping in aggressively, fueling confidence that demand is far from fading. According to analyst Ted Pillows, Bitmine, a major institutional player, has once again purchased Ethereum…

XRP’s large holder cohort, specifically addresses holding between 10 million and 100 million XRP, has shifted from accumulation in the second half of August to significant dumping at the start of September. On-chain data from analytics platform Santiment reveals a sharp reversal in holdings, both in terms of circulating supply percentage and the number of coins held by this cohort. This change raises concerns about the sustainability of XRP’s price, which has been facing rejections above $2.8, and whether September could be a bearish month for the token. XRP Millionaires Start September With A Selloff XRP millionaire wallets, which are addresses holding between 10 mill…

Ivanhoe Mines (TSX: IVN) announced on Thursday that it has made a copper discovery at its exploration joint venture in Kazakhstan’s Chu-Sarysu Basin, warranting further follow-up. The Canadian miner, alongside UK-based partner Pallas Resources, is exploring a prospective land package of over 16,000 km², covering licences spread across seven projects.

The new copper discovery resulted from the joint venture’s fieldwork on the Merke licence, which is located in the sou…

After hitting its latest all-time high (ATH) on August 14, Bitcoin (BTC) has been on a steady decline, trading just above the $110,000 level at the time of writing. While some analysts opine that the crypto bull run may be over, on-chain data suggests that there is at least one more major leg up ahead for BTC. Bitcoin Bull Market Over? Not Quite According to a CryptoQuant Quicktake post by contributor CoinCare, as much as 50,000 BTC has been withdrawn over the past two days from crypto exchange Kraken. This was followed by another major withdrawal of 15,000 BTC. The CryptoQuant analyst stated that such significant withdrawals are not something that is typically observe…

Vale (NYSE: VALE) has officially reopened the Capanema iron ore mine in Ouro Preto, Minas Gerais, after a 22-year halt, as part of an investment strategy worth R$ 67 billion ($12.2 billion) through 2030. The reactivated Capanema unit, which received about R$ 5.2 billion ($950 million) in investments, will operate without using water in processing, generating no tailings and removing the need for dams. The shift toward dry processing has been a central goal for Vale following the deadly collapses of two tailings dams in Minas Gerais in 2015 and 2019, disasters that killed hundreds of people and caused widespread environmental devastation. The majority of Vale’s…

US President Donald Trump’s war against the Federal Reserve may send gold prices to as high as $5,000 an ounce by driving down investor confidence in the dollar, says Goldman Sachs Group. In a note published Thursday, the bank’s analysts warned that Trump’s attempt to interfere with the US central bank could further erode trust in dollar-denominated assets, thereby adding to gold’s safe-haven appeal. The note, first seen by Financial Times, comes just a day after gold rallied to a new all-time high above $3,560 an ounce. Bullion has now risen by 35% so far this year, as investors and central banks piled into the metal as a hedge against political uncertainty and U…

The pound has been busy and moved higher on Wednesday, with gains of 0.42%. This followed massive losses of 1.1% a day earlier, after UK gilts surged to a 27-year high. Bank of England Governor Bailey testified before the Treasury Committee hearings on Wednesday. Bailey said that he expected interest rates would continue to move "downwards gradually over time" but that there was "considerably more doubt" as to when the BoE would lower rates. Members of the BoE's Monetary Policy Committee are split over monetary policy. MPC member Alan Ta…

The Swiss franc has edged lower on Thursday. In the North American session, USD/CHF is trading at 0.8052, down 0.13% on the day. Swiss CPI declines in August Swiss inflation declined in August for the first time since January. CPI slipped 0.1%, following the July reading of zero and the market estimate of zero. Yearly, CPI rose 0.2%, unchanged from July and in line with the market estimate. The soft inflation report could support the case for the Swiss National Bank to return to negative interest rates. The SNB had a negative rate policy in effect for eight consecutive years until 2022, when high inflation forced the bank to sharply tighten policy. The markets widely e…

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong announced on Wednesday that he aims to have 50% of the cryptocurrency exchange’s daily code generated using artificial intelligence by October 2025, stating that the platform is already operating at 40% AI coding. The Coinbase stock, COIN, is down 0.5% today, according to Yahoo Finance, potentially signaling a poor reception by investors regarding Armstrong’s comments yesterday. The concept of “vibe coding” has gained popularity this year, thanks in part to computer scientist Andrej Karpathy, who is the former senior AI director at Tesla and the founder of Eureka Labs. In his explanation, vibe coding refers to relinquishing active overs…
