Multiple breakdown attempts from selling flows have failed to materialize in more concrete bearish price action. And with key earnings coming up for Nvidia (After the close), the setup for mean reversion was a very decent one for Equity bulls. Both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq are up in today's session with the tech-focused index leading strong, pulled once again by Semiconductors and a stellar performance from Google, who just launched a revolutionary Gemini 3 Model. Tech giants like Nvidia, AVGO, and Oracle are bouncing back from rough stretches, while Consumer Defensives, Energy, and Utilities are on the other hand lagging quite much, leading to the Dow barely tradin…

United States government officials are ready to guarantee critical minerals producers a minimum price for their product in a bid to raise domestic output and reduce China’s market dominance, Reuters reported, citing unidentified people familiar with the matter. The strategy would build on a recent public-private partnership between the US Department of Defense and MP Materials (NYSE: MP) to establish a domestic supply chain for rare earth magnets. The deal – announced July 10 – included a 10-year off-take deal that sets a price floor of $110 per kilogram for neodymium-praseodymium materials. In a previously unreported July 24 meeting, US trade advisor Peter Navarr…

The monthly release for US August jobs is at 22K vs 75K Expectations The prior month came at 74K vs 110K expectations, but the biggest surprise was to the downside revisions which turned a 291K increase in two months to an-only 33K increase. With the unemployment rate rising to 4.3%, there really is a decent slowdown happening in the US. Canadian jobs also regressed quite largely at -65K vs 10K expectations, sending the Loonie down vs other majors. The US Dollar is falling off, about to break support, equities are rallying but mixed : a more than 25 bps is starting to price but still has low probabilities of happening. The data still shows an increase, albeit a very s…

The United States has added copper and silver to an expanded list of critical minerals that it deems to be vital to America’s economy and national security. The new list, compiled by the US Geological Survey, includes 10 additions to the previous one in 2022, taking the total to 60. The other notable additions are: uranium, metallurgical coal, potash, rhenium, silicon and lead. The addition of copper and silver confirms the earlier draft list provided by USGS. The USGS said it devised the list by using an economic model that it developed to estimate the potential effects of foreign trade disruptions of mineral commodities. The assessment spans 84 mineral commo…

Oil is starting to push higher in a strong move as we speak. After a seven-day consolidation between $63 and $64, prospects for better war outlooks and lower supply helped Oil prices rise from their lows. A few days of rise tested the lower bound of the previous month's range ($65 to $70.5) as Markets sought more information on the Ukraine-Russia conflict. Despite the previous weeks of geopolitical meetings between the US, Ukrainian, Russian, and EU Presidents, talks have been in limbo, and the lack of progress, combined with repeated assaults by Russia on Kiev, is not helping the situation. The German Chancellor Merz just announced that there would be no Zelenskyy-Pu…

This article is an update to the piece released on Monday: US Oil breaks out as bearish catalysts fade US Oil has indeed broken out of its downward trend amid progress in Ukraine-Russia talks, bolstering prospects from bulls of a lesser supply. However, with Markets awaiting for an actual solution to the conflict, supplemented by anticipation for more economic talks from the FED and other Central Banks at the upcoming Jackson Hole Symposium, the mood looks to be for consolidation. Despite rumours of a ceasefire in the Middle East, we haven't seen much progress from that side also; Iran also contributes to elevate Supply. This morning's candle shows a failed attempt…

Price movements in the energy commodity markets are known to be volatile, with a huge number of factors influencing its supply and demand. Between global economic activity fluctuating, OPEC+ countries trying to shake each others out, and persistent wars implying re-routed exports/imports, trying to understand each and every move is a daunting, almost impossible task. But understanding movements is a task for historians, traders need to focus on the current course of action in an attempt to generate profits (and minimize losses that will always incur). Over the preceding week, the Trump Administration repeated their discontent over Europe still purchasing Russian oil th…

US Oil has been consolidating between $65.50 to $70 since the past month war-led volatility calmed down sharply. Markets had earlier been concerned by supply fears which considerably lowered the Energy commodity's prices since 2025. Momentum has turned in June, but no trend has been forming since. Despite some renewed tensions in the Middle East and Ukraine-Russia talks in a limbo, Oil prices haven't elevated much further.

The ongoing war in Russia has counterintuitively been one of the most significant bearish catalysts in the black gold– Russia floods the market of Oil to countries like India to sponsor its war, prompting threats from Trump. The war may continue despite the Trump-Putin meeting, with Ukrainian President Zelenskyy announcing that it would be "impossible" to concede land, mentioning Crimea. As a matter of fact, Ukraine landed hits on one of the key pipelines taking Russian Oil to Hungary, leaving the Hungarian PM Orbán in fury (He is one of the only pro-Russian leaders in Europe). In the Middle East, on the other hand, Hamas is getting cornered into a ceasefire deal as …

Most Read: Markets Today: Japan PM Resigns, Gold Above $3600/oz, China Exports Miss Forecasts, FTSE 100 Holds at Support Oil prices have risen as much as 1.8% at the start of the week as Oil pares last week's losses. The rally this morning has come as a surprise to some quarters after eight OPEC + members agreed to lift output by 137,000 bpd from October. However, the move by OPEC + was seen as more modest than expected and thus saw market participants shrug off the potential consequences. On top of that, markets are focused on the possibility of more sanctions on Russian crude.after Russia hit Ukraine with its biggest air attack since the start of the war. For now, conce…

Oil prices have had volatile swing in the past week, finding strong demand towards the end of July after bouncing at the lows of its $65 to $70 range, even breaking its highs (71.38) before getting hammered from downbeat sentiment post-NFP miss. The commodity is in the Middle of some fundamental headwinds between strong supply (OPEC+ cartel trying to change things up) and Russian oil micmacs. US President Trump is applying strong pressure on countries importing Russian oil to push for a truce in the Eastern European conflicts. India serves as a target for higher tariff menaces as long as they keep buying Russian oil. The action in Oil is still rangebound and despite th…

The NA session kicks off quietly, with subdued volumes as American traders take the day off, giving markets a breather after yesterday’s upside surprise in the Non-Farm Payrolls and fresh diplomatic updates from the US – More is to come next week as we approach Trump's infamous July 9th deadline With little on the immediate calendar, Oil Traders' attention is turning to tomorrow’s OPEC+ meeting — delayed by a day due to the Ashura holiday. The timing shift may be behind some of today’s selling tone, as market participants hold off ahead of any supply-side headlines. From a price action perspective, crude has been consolidating in a narrow $2 range, showing signs it may …

Log in to today's North American session Market wrap for December 1 The new month of trading begins with quite some violent mean-reversion across asset classes. US Stocks opened much lower compared to their strong Friday close before rebounding sharply and rejecting new highs again, in a session marked by indecision. Cryptos continued to sell off amid the MicroStrategy (MSTR) "funding catastrophe" narrative—fueled by fears of index exclusion and a potential "death spiral" for its leverage-heavy model—along with general deleveraging across the sector. The US Dollar led currency markets to some wild swings, opening sharply lower before taking on a V-shape recovery to tra…

Log in to today's North American session Market wrap for November 5. The US government shutdown officially became the longest in history today — 36 days and counting — yet markets found some relief in stronger-than-expected private data amid the lack of public releases.

Wall Street hits fresh highs On Thursday, US stock markets closed at record levels. The rally came a day after the Federal Reserve cut its key interest rate by a quarter of a percentage point, sparking optimism among investors.

At the end of the second quarter the MINING.COM TOP 50* ranking of the world’s most valuable miners had a combined market capitalization of just under $1.50 trillion, up a respectable $213 billion so far in 2025. The total stock market valuation of the world’s biggest mining companies remains nearly $250 billion below the all-time high reached three years ago however. The Top 50 also once again underperformed the broader market despite new multi-year highs and record prices for a number of major metals over the last three months.

The US Defense Department will reissue an updated tender for up to $500m of cobalt by end-November 2025, with an award expected in early February 2026. The Defense Logistics Agency first sought offers in mid-August for up to 7,500 tons of cobalt over the next five years, but in mid October cancelled the tender due to “outstanding issues with the Statement of Work” after interested parties missed several deadlines. The DLA was seeking offers for alloy-grade cobalt from three producers: units of Vale SA in Canada, Sumitomo Metal Mining Co. in Japan and Glencore Plc’s Nikkelverk plant in Norway. It asked suppliers to propose fixed prices for the supplies over five y…

US retail sales surprise with 0.6% gain US retail sales have been in the doldrums of late, posting declines in April and May as consumers reacted with a thumbs-down to President Trump's tariffs, which took effect in April and made imported goods more expensive.

Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency assets surged following news that the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has fast-tracked approval of listing standards for cryptocurrency exchange-traded funds (ETFs), quickly laying the groundwork for these products to enter public markets. This decision marks a turning point in the recognition of digital assets by the traditional financial system. Opening the market to crypto-based ETFs significantly expands access to this asset class for both institutional and retail investors, many of whom have previously avoided direct ownership of cryptocurrencies due to storage complexities and regulatory uncertainty. The emergence of v…

While Bitcoin and Ethereum are preparing for a new bullish impulse, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has once again postponed decisions on several ETF rule changes linked to cryptocurrencies. On Wednesday, the SEC announced it needed more time to review applications for permission regarding Ethereum staking. Although SEC Chair Paul Atkins has recently expressed open support for digital assets, the agency continues to delay rulings on many crypto-related ETFs. The SEC's hesitation in making decisions on ETFs and Ethereum staking can be attributed to concerns over investor protection and the need to develop clear regulatory frameworks for decentralized finan…

Federal prosecutors in Albany are going after more than $12 million in USDT, they say, that was tied to a crypto investment scam. They’ve filed a civil forfeiture complaint in an attempt to take the funds back. It’s another signal that officials are treating crypto scams just like any other financial crime. How the Scam Played Out The scheme began with random text messages promising profitable investment opportunities. Those messages led victims to a fake trading platform called ShakepayEX. The site was made to look like a real Canadian crypto exchange, but it wasn’t. People who deposited funds were then hit with fake fees and obstacles when they tried to withdraw. Many …
