Commodity Callout
Gold may be finding its groove again thanks to a fresh round of volatility brought about by Trump declaring war against the Federal Reserve.
Metal Price Update
Gold — Gold continued to regain its footing, starting the week at $3415 per ounce and ending around $3500. Trump has been toying with disrupting how the Federal Reserve operates, and that’s the kind of volatility that has traders seeking havens. Gold already has strong fundamentals behind it for an extended run, and this just makes the case even stronger for having it in your portfolio.
Silver — Silver moved upward as well, starting around $38.50 an ounce and moving up to end the week just over $39.50. A weaker dollar helped contribute to silver’s strong showing this week, and there is no reason to think it can’t go higher than that.
Copper — Copper continued its trend of largely staying within range between $4.46 per pound and $4.50. There hasn’t been much news to move the commodity forward but its fundamentals continue to be strong enough that it holds its place.
Lithium Carbonate — Lithium prices saw a bit of a dip, starting the week at $11,411 per metric ton and ending at $11,217. Much of the recent upward trend was caused by mine closures in China but then things turned around when a mine was able to secure a license renewal that was set to expire in early September. Other license renewals will be coming up around the end of September so the lithium market is very much worth keeping an eye on.
Uranium — More upward movement for uranium. It started the week around $74.60 per pound and ended slightly higher. From that limited movement, it might not seem like uranium is in a bull market but it is and it’s one that likely isn’t going to pull back in any major way. This is one that smart traders will want to continue holding.
Company Callout
One company to watch is Lion Rock Resources Inc. (TSX-V: ROAR)(OTC: LRRIF), which owns a high-grade gold-lithium prospect in the northwestern Black Hills of South Dakota.
The district it sits in has already produced tens of millions of ounces of gold in the past, and the particular project that Lion Rock is advancing is on privately held land that remains largely untouched as far as mining goes.
Sampling has already returned 18.2 g/t gold over 18.3 meters, meaning that when the drilling starts, the company could be setting investors up for generational-wealth-making returns.
The company is looking to raise C$3 million at C$0.20 with a full warrant at C$0.30 good for two years, and private investors are piling in to get their piece of it.
