Shares in Fresnillo (LON: FRES) jumped 6% on Tuesday after the Mexican precious metals miner raised its gold production forecast for the year, driven by a strong first-half performance marked by rising profits and solid free cash flow. For the six months ending June 30, gold production rose 16% to 314,000 ounces, fuelled by operational gains at the Herradura mine in Sonora. In contrast, silver output fell 12% year-over-year to 24.9 million ounces, weighed down by mine closures and lower ore grades. The company responded to the performance by revising its full-year guidance. Fresnillo now expects to produce between 550,000 and 590,000 ounces of gold, up from a prev…

Most Read: Imminent profit-taking in Cryptocurrencies – What's the story Ripple (XRP) is experiencing a lot of price swings on Thursday, affecting many major cryptocurrencies. Ripple has fallen as much as 6% as a host of factors plague the popular token.

However, XRP/USD is battling its own demons as news started circulating the web today around possible manipulation of the price. This added another layer of intrigue to Ripple which has been the talk of the town for the majority …

The morning NA session follows a quasi-dead European overnight trading. This tends to happen when a lack of data adds to the Summer trading when volumes are typically subdued. The Dollar Index had been in the middle of many headwinds, as per usual. After a stellar July followed by and N-shaped (for nope) downward spiral in the beginning of August, it has been difficult to spot where the Greenback is heading. Forex volatility tends to calm during summers and lack of decisive trends exacerbate this rangebound trading – When the path is unclear, rangebound trading is typical (particularly in currencies.)

BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) quietly amassed more than 3% of all Bitcoin in existence. If this isn’t enough proof of the increase in institutional demand for BTC, corporate heavyweights Strategy and Metaplanet added more BTC ▲0.18% to their treasuries amid sharp price swings. As of 15 August 2025, BlackRock holds over 740,000 BTC through IBIT – 3.72% of Bitcoin’s total supply. This makes BlackRock one of the largest single pools of Bitcoin exposure globally, second only to Satoshi Nakamoto’s estimated 1:1 million BTC. Let’s talk about competitors. Fidelity’s FBTC and Grayscale’s GBTC are at $24.7 billion and $22.18 billion respectively. Meanwhile, BlackRock…

While Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) stumbled in the latest market downturn, Cardano (ADA) has emerged as a standout performer. Over the past week, ADA has surged 20%, maintaining strong momentum even as broader market sentiment turned cautious. According to CoinGecko data, ADA is up nearly 175% year-on-year, trading near $0.92 after consistently holding green candles across daily, weekly, and monthly charts. Bitcoin briefly slipped below $115,000, while Ethereum retraced to $4,200 after touching a multi-year high. Yet Cardano has shown resilience, buoyed by technical and macroeconomic factors that are drawing fresh investor attention. What’s Fueling ADA’s Breakout?…

Yeezy money is here. It’s real. Better known as “YZY Meme coin,” Kanye West, now known simply as Ye, launched his YZY token on Solana, sparking immediate frenzy. Within just 40 minutes of release, the coin’s market cap ballooned to $3 billion, before tumbling back to $1.05 billion, according to Nansen data. There’s only one other celebrity with that kind of MCAP for a cryptocurrency and it’s TRUMP. As big as Ye is, many are starting to believe there’s no room to make money here. (YZYUSDT) On X, Ye promoted the token as part of “Yeezy Money,” which he described as: “A NEW ECONOMY, BUILT ON CHAIN,” Ye wrote. “The official YZY token just dropped,” he later added. And …

Arthur Hayes believes the long arc of US policy now points toward money creation on a scale that could push Bitcoin into “multi-million” territory—and, in a more extreme scenario, as high as $15 million per coin. In a wide-ranging interview hosted by CoinFund’s Chris Perkins, the BitMEX co-founder and noted macro commentator tied the path of Bitcoin explicitly to a looming political and institutional showdown at the Federal Reserve, arguing that Jerome Powell can delay—but not ultimately prevent—the return of aggressive stimulus under a Trump administration.

SharpLink Gaming has approved a $1.5 billion stock buyback aimed at supporting its Ethereum treasury. The idea is straightforward. If the company’s stock starts trading below the value of the Ether it holds, they’ll begin to buy back shares to increase the ETH-per-share ratio and protect long-term holders. Buybacks Prompted by ETH-Price Dynamics Co-CEO Joseph Chalom explained that issuing more shares while the stock is trading below the value of the company’s Ethereum reserves would dilute shareholder value. So rather than sit on their hands, SharpLink now has a tool to act if market conditions turn favorable. A Huge Ethereum Treasury Backing the Plan This isn’t jus…

Ukraine is welcoming bids for the right to develop a major lithium deposit in central Kirovohrad region as part of its minerals deal with the US, even as a legal dispute looms over ownership of the project. The tender for lithium mining at the Dobra site was confirmed last week by Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko, during an announcement of Ukraine’s approved plans to tap into its vastly underexplored natural resources. According to the Ukrainian Geological Survey, the country’s critical minerals account for about 5% of the global total. Amongst the most prominent is lithium, for which it holds about a third of Europe’s endowment. Lithium is a critical component…

The Japanese yen is slightly weaker on Monday. In the North American session, USD/JPY is trading at 147.21, up 0.12% on the day. US markets are closed for Labor Day, which means that USD/JPY is unlikely to show stronger movement today. Tokyo Core CPI eases to 2.5% Tokyo Core CPI declined for a third consecutive month in August, with a gain of 2.5%, its lowest level since March. This was down sharply from 2.9% in July and matched the market estimate. Tokyo core CPI, which excludes fresh food, eased lower due to government utility subsidies. The Bank of Japan appears on track to raise interest rates, but isn't providing any hints as to a date. The markets expect the BoJ…

The stablecoin market has hit an all-time high of $284 billion. New legislation in the United States supports this increase, and the USDe at Ethena is becoming one of the primary beneficiaries of this trend. As per Dune Analytics data, the dollar-pegged stablecoin, USDe, issued by Ethena, grew significantly during the past month. Its supplies increased by +42% to an all-time high of $12.43Bn. Meanwhile, the protocol revenue grew in August to reach $61M. That was the month that Ethena had the highest this year. The recent growth has also increased the interest in the long-debated fee switch of Ethena. The first time, ENA holders, the governance token, will be able to acc…

Ethereum is navigating a turbulent phase, with price action holding around key levels while volatility and uncertainty dominate the broader market. Despite the lack of clear direction, institutional appetite for ETH continues to grow, underscoring confidence in its long-term value. One of the most notable dynamics shaping Ethereum’s outlook is the shrinking supply on exchanges, as more coins move into cold storage and long-term holdings. This trend signals reduced sell pressure and reinforces the narrative of accumulation beneath the surface. Fresh data from Arkham adds weight to this view. According to their latest report, three newly identified whale wallets collectiv…

The political crisis in the United States continues to grip financial markets, exerting significant influence, with the dollar being the main beneficiary. How long will its positive momentum on Forex continue? Let's try to analyze this question. The political crisis in the US, known as the shutdown, has already exhausted everyone and is causing substantial losses to the American economy. There seems to be no end in sight, as the political standoff in Washington remains intense. The absence of fresh economic data also unnerves and disorients investors. This Friday, the release of the Department of Labor employment report was expected, but it did not happen due to the gover…

MINING.COM and The Northern Miner mapped global rare earth production through a geopolitical lens, dividing the world into five “spheres of control”: Chinese, American, Russian, Coalition of the Willing, and Undrafted. These groupings reflect geographic, social, cultural, and economic ties—and possible alignments in a more polarized world. Watch: In this 18-minute presentation at the CentralMinEX conference in Newfoundland, TNM Group President Anthony Vaccaro examines how the world is fracturing into competing spheres of control.

Bolivia’s plans to emerge as a major lithium producer have hit an impasse after a local court ordered the suspension of two major extraction deals signed last year valued at more than $2 billion, according to media reports. The contracts were signed in 2023 and 2024 respectively with China’s CBC consortium, which includes battery manufacturer CATL, and Russia’s Uranium One Group, a subsidiary of state nuclear firm Rosatom, as revealed by various publications including Bolivia-based El Deber. The deals aimed to establish direct lithium extraction (DLE) facilities in Salar de Uyuni in southwest Bolivia. The salar is host one of the world’s largest lithium reserves, …

Ivanhoe Mines (TSX: IVN) has laid out plans to dewater the Kakula copper mine in the Democratic Republic of the Congo that could result in a return to operations as early as this month. Its shares rebounded on the update. The underground mine, part of the larger Kamoa-Kakula copper complex in the DRC, was temporarily suspended on May 18 following seismic activity that resulted in severe flooding. The complex is Africa’s largest copper-producing operation, with majority ownership split between Ivanhoe and China’s Zijin Mining (39.6%) at 39.6% each, while the DRC government holds a 20% stake. Despite conflicted reports over the potential damage by the joint venture …

I had a privilege of joining Becky Quick on CNBC's Squawk Box to talk about the dollar. I suggested there may be scope for the Dollar Index to fall another 5% over the remainder of the year. I am not so focused on the dollar losing its reserve currency status but cyclical developments. The Fed may resume its easing just as several other central banks wind down their rate cuts, like the ECB, Bank of Canada, Sweden, and Norway. The markets often seem to ascribe structural and strategic forces at work initially to what ultimately proves to be cyclical and tactical. The US TIC data, which is only through March, showed foreign investors were larger net buyers of US asse…
