Anglo Asian Mining (LON: AAZ) has contracted to sell concentrates produced at its newly started Demirli copper mine to global commodities trader Trafigura. The sales contract includes a revolving prepayment facility of up to $25 million, the Azerbaijan-focused miner said, adding that the first sale will be completed in mid-November. In July, the company announced the successful commissioning of the Demirli mine in Karabakh. According to company forecasts, Demirli’s production this year is expected to reach 4,000 tonnes in concentrate, but could rise to 15,000 tonnes from 2026 onwards. Demirli represents the second copper mine that Anglo Asian brought online th…

Trade Analysis and Tips for Trading the Japanese YenGiven the very low market volatility, the price never reached the levels I had indicated earlier, so in the first half of the day I remained without any trades. During the U.S. session, attention should be paid to the Federal Reserve representatives. Speeches by FOMC members Mary Daly and Lisa D. Cook could trigger new, much stronger market movements—but only if we hear something new. Investors are eager to learn what these influential FOMC members think about inflation prospects, interest rates, and the overall state of the economy. Will they maintain their previously dovish stance after last week's rate cut, or adopt a…

EU crypto regulator enforcement could be set to expand as the EU plots an ESMA expansion – nowhere left to run for Europoor? Brussels wants a single supervisor for major crypto firms. EU officials are working on a plan that would give ESMA direct oversight of the bloc’s biggest cross-border crypto companies. The EU plans to submit the proposal in December as part of its Market Integration Package. How Would Centralized Supervision Change Crypto Rules Under MiCA? The goal is straightforward: to transfer certain supervisory powers from national agencies to ESMA, ensuring more consistent rules across member states. Leaders in Brussels have renewed their push for the Cap…

At the start of the new week, the GBP/USD pair is attempting to attract buyers after a prolonged decline, trading above the psychological level of 1.3100. However, fundamental factors clearly tilt the market toward a bearish outlook and confirm the likelihood of a continuation of the downward trend that has persisted for about a month and a half. The U.S. dollar remains firm near a three-month high after Fed Chair Jerome Powell adopted a decisively hawkish tone last week. This remains the key factor weighing on GBP/USD. In addition, Powell dismissed market expectations for a 25-basis-point rate cut in December, helping offset concerns about an economic slowdown amid the o…

On Monday, the GBP/JPY pair tried to attract some buyer interest; however, no further upward movement followed. Spot prices remain within Friday's trading range, showing little change during the day due to low liquidity caused by a public holiday in Japan. The Japanese yen continues to remain under pressure due to uncertainty surrounding a possible Bank of Japan rate hike. This uncertainty serves as a key factor supporting the GBP/JPY pair. Investors generally believe that the BoJ will be able to resist further policy tightening, amid speculation that Japan's Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi intends to implement aggressive fiscal spending. Moreover, BoJ Governor Kazuo Ueda s…

The wave pattern on the 4-hour EUR/USD chart has changed — unfortunately, not for the better. It's still too early to conclude that the upward trend segment has ended, but the recent decline in the euro has made it necessary to adjust the wave structure. Now, we see a series of corrective formations. It can be assumed that they form part of the larger wave 4 within the current upward trend. In that case, wave 4 has taken on an unusually extended form, but the overall integrity of the wave pattern remains intact. The construction of the upward trend segment continues, while the news background still mostly fails to support the dollar. The trade war launched by Donald Trump…

Solana (SOL) has slipped below the critical $180 mark even as institutional inflows into newly launched Solana exchange-traded funds (ETFs) reached nearly $199 million in just one week. The Solana price is hovering around $175, marking a 6.4% daily decline and extending a week-long correction that has erased almost 12% of its value. Despite ETFs managed by Bitwise, Grayscale, and 21Shares pushing total assets past $500 million, the influx of institutional capital has yet to stabilize prices. Analysts attribute the weakness to a broader risk-off sentiment across global markets. Although President Trump recently announced a lower tariff imposition, crypto investors remai…

Australia’s Locksley Resources (ASX: LKY) has received a letter of interest (LOI) from the US Export-Import Bank (EXIM) for a potential financing of $191 million in support of its antimony project in California. Locksley’s Mojave project in Inyo County is host to a high-grade antimony prospect with historic samples grading up to 46%. The property is situated next to the only active US rare earths mine — MP Materials’ (NYSE: MP) Mountain Pass. Antimony is a vital ingredient in many military applications as well as batteries and semiconductors. Currently, the US has no domestic source of antimony production, and therefore relies heavily on imports from China. …

Trading at $4,008 well into the US session, up +0.14% in today’s trading, gold bullion continues to look for support at the key psychological level of $4,000. With the US government shutdown still ongoing, US data releases remain sparse. Eyes now turn to the private release of ADP payrolls this Wednesday, which will likely offer some insight into how the Fed will continue its easing cycle.

Gold held the $4,000 level on Monday as traders assessed an end to China’s long-standing tax rebate for some retailers, a move that could weigh on demand in one of the world’s largest precious metals markets. Spot gold traded 0.2% higher at $4,009.58 per ounce by midday New York, after falling as much as 1% earlier. US gold futures also inched higher, up 0.6% to $4,020.80 an ounce.

XRP has been a top performer during this recent bull market, beating Ethereum and almost all other cryptocurrencies in ROI. But could a recent bearish signal suggest the top altcoin could drop by 70-80% from current levels? XRP Triggers Bearish Crossover of Monthly LMACD Aside from Bitcoin, altcoins haven’t fared well during this recent bull market cycle in crypto. XRP, however, has done extremely well, even outperforming BTC at times. But as Bitcoin itself begins to struggle with selling pressure, XRP has triggered a high timeframe bearish signal that could also point to the end of the ongoing rally. XRPUSD has triggered its third-ever bearish crossover of the LMACD…

Balancer, one of the most established decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols with more than $700 million in total value locked (TVL), appears to have suffered a serious exploit, adding fresh stress to an industry still grappling with security concerns. Early on-chain evidence indicates that attackers drained assets across multiple chains, with losses now exceeding $98 million, making this one of the largest DeFi breaches of 2025 so far. The attack appears to have targeted Balancer liquidity pools, siphoning high-value assets including wrapped ETH and liquid-staking derivatives through coordinated cross-chain movements. Initial wallet traces show funds rapidly routed thr…

Teck Resources (TSX: TECK.A, TECK.B)(NYSE: TECK) said on Monday its Quebrada Blanca (QB) mine in Chile is showing signs of recovery, following months of underperformance that raised questions about the mine’s viability and future role in the company’s $53 billion merger with Anglo American (LON: AAL). The Canadian miner noted that mill throughput and copper recoveries at QB are now tracking in line with expectations, thanks to an action plan launched in August. The improvement follows a broader operational review begun in September, aimed at stabilizing the ramp-up of its flagship copper expansion project. The “QB Action Plan” included upgrades to tailings infrast…

Cardano (ADA) continued its downward slide on Monday, falling over 5% to trade around $0.57, extending last week’s 10% decline. Related Reading: XRP’s Next Earthquake: Billions Set To Flow In, ‘Supply Shock’ Coming—Analyst Market data from CoinGlass shows trader sentiment turning increasingly bearish, with ADA’s long-to-short ratio at 0.75, the lowest this month. The metric indicates that more traders are betting on further declines. On-chain data mirrors this negative outlook.

The nearly 100-year-old Horne copper smelter. Glencore photo Glencore is planning to wind down its Horne Smelter — Canada’s largest copper-metal producing plant — citing steep environmental upgrades and operational costs, Reuters reported on Monday. The Swiss commodities giant currently operates the Horne and the Canadian Copper Refinery (CCR), both located in the province of Quebec. The Horne smelter processes concentrates to make copper anode, which is then turned into cathode by CCR. While no production figures have been published for these assets, industry sources cited by Reuters have pegged their annual output at more than 300,000 tonnes. Much of the cop…

Dogecoin has spent the past several days locked in a tight decline that has seen it push lower. The meme coin has struggled to break above $0.19, slipping between $0.17 and $0.18 in what could be described as another consolidation phase. This movement follows a series of attempts to recover losses in October, which failed with a rejection at $0.205. The current chart setup has attracted interest among traders who believe a major rally move is close. A technical analysis posted on the social media platform X highlights what could happen once this slow decline period comes to an end. Dogecoin Holds Its Ground In A Tight Range Technical analysis shows that Dogecoin’s pric…

Understanding Forex Options Defense Paper Trading Options – a good start as any In the world of forex trading, not all market moves are driven by economic data or central bank policy. Sometimes, the real action happens around key options strike levels, where large institutional traders defend or attack prices to protect massive positions. Understanding how this process works can offer valuable insight and potential trading opportunities for those who know what to look for. The Role of Traditional Currency Options in the Spot Market While many new retail traders think of “options” as binary bets, traditional currency options, not binaries, are the ones that influence the…

Aster (ASTER) has seen heightened volatility in recent sessions as broader market selling pressure weighs on altcoins and investor sentiment remains fragile. Yet in the midst of this downturn, the token drew unexpected attention when Changpeng Zhao (CZ) — Binance’s former CEO — posted on X that he personally bought ASTER using his own funds directly on Binance. The comment immediately sparked debate across the crypto community, with some viewing it as a confidence signal and others treating it with caution given current market conditions. However, not all major traders share the bullish view. Shortly after CZ’s post, notable on-chain whale 0x9eec increased a bearish pos…

The European Central Bank, as expected, kept interest rates unchanged at its meeting last week. No new forecasts were presented, so the main criterion for interest rate forecasting —namely, the inflation forecast —remains the same. ECB President Lagarde noted a decrease in several risks to the economy, and the tone of the accompanying statement is assessed as neutral, with the interest rate forecast remaining unchanged—the ECB has completed its easing cycle and will not change the rate at least until the middle of next year. Immediately before the meeting, a report on Q3 GDP was published, showing better-than-expected results. Since the ECB had anticipated zero growth in …

On Tuesday, November 4, the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) will conclude its next-to-last meeting of the year. There is no doubt that the central bank will take a wait-and-see approach; this is the basic and most anticipated scenario. AUD/USD traders already priced in this scenario last week, when key third-quarter Australian CPI data was published. All components of the report came in positive, reflecting an acceleration in inflation. Additionally, the preceding statements from the Reserve Bank of Australia's head were also hawkish—at least in the context of the likely outcomes of the November meeting. Therefore, the formal results of the meeting are predetermined: t…

As the new week begins, the Japanese yen continues its negative trajectory, remaining under pressure from last week. Last Thursday, the Bank of Japan left interest rates unchanged despite objections from two board members—Naoki Tamura and Hajime Takata—who advocated for a hike to 0.75%. In the subsequent press conference, Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda emphasized that there are no preliminary plans for the timing of the next interest rate hike. Additionally, Japan's new Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi supports an approach to stimulate the economy, advocating for substantial budget allocations to counter inflation and boost economic growth. This reinforces expectations th…

For the 34th day in a row, the "shutdown" in America continues, which was "supposed to be resolved in 2 weeks." Democrats and Republicans continue to hold formal votes in the Senate, where no one seems willing to concede. Therefore, each new meeting may take place in a friendly atmosphere over coffee and pastries, with the outcome known in advance. Donald Trump does not seem concerned about the pause in government and state operations, and the lack of significant economic reports appears to work in his favor. At least for the dollar, which, despite the "shutdown," saw demand increase throughout October. For President Trump, the "shutdown" might only be advantageous if the…

As I mentioned in the previous review, the majority of Americans blame the Republicans and Donald Trump personally for the "shutdown." Many people in the US are currently opposing Trump and his policies. It suffices to recall the "No Kings" rallies, occurring roughly every two months, which clearly hint that someone fancies themselves a king. Therefore, it comes as no surprise to me that about 46% of Americans blame Trump for the "shutdown," while only 37% blame the Democrats. Consequently, the Democrats' position in negotiations is more advantageous than the Republicans'. The absolute majority of respondents have also reported being very concerned about the "shutdown." B…

As part of the campaign to force Democrats into concessions, Donald Trump has already attempted to dismiss 4,000 federal employees. The US President continues to blame Democrats for the halt in government operations, although any person with a basic understanding of the issue can see that the problem does not lie with the Democrats. Fortunately, the attempt at mass dismissal failed. Federal Judge Susan Illston blocked Trump's attempt to fire the 4,000 employees, siding with the unions that brought a lawsuit against the president's actions. Judge Illston also indicated that any future attempts by the president to fire anyone without just cause would have the same outcome. …
