Commodity Callout
Lithium had another stellar week with its price continuing to rise after a prolonged period of stagnation. It still has some way to go to reach previous highs. But the underlying catalysts and recent news that have propelled the price upward in the past few weeks show that it has the potential to get back to those levels and make investors rich in the process.
Metal Price Update
Gold — Another rangebound week for gold. It started the week at around $3355 per ounce and after some up-and-down movement ended the week at around the same price. If nothing else, it shows stability and is a good sign for it as an investment as the commodity bull market heats up.
Silver — The story for silver was much the same with it starting that week at around $38.42 per ounce and ending in roughly the same place. After moving ahead while gold stayed put, silver seems to be settling into place but it’s still a strong investment choice.
Copper — Copper moved up slightly. It began around $5.52 per pound and ended at $5.58. It seems to have found its comfortable spot after a trend of upward movement following tariff-related news. This could be a strong buying opportunity, allowing investors to stock up before its price moves again.
Lithium Carbonate — Lithium keeps rolling along. It started last week around $9,000 per metric ton and ended the week at $9,286. At this point, it’s anyone’s guess how far it will go. The underlying fundamentals and steady price climb continue to make a case for why this is one commodity that should be in your portfolio.
Uranium — Another slight dip for uranium this week, starting the week at $72.30 per pound and ending around $71.70. That dip wasn’t nearly as bad as the prior week, which could be a sign that the price drop is leveling off for now.
Company Callout
FinEx Metals Ltd. (TSX-V: FINX) is a newly-listed gold exploration company that has 100%-owned projects in Finland’s Central Lapland Greenstone Belt. This is a district that has yielded multiple multimillion-ounce discoveries in the past few years.
One of the company’s properties, Ruoppa, allows for site access nearly year-round and is near road and power infrastructure, meaning everything is already in place for when drills begin turning soon. Major mining companies have been flocking to the area because of the discovery potential, and FinEx itself is already moving forward with five other properties near Ruoppa.
Given all of the positives, Gerardo has added the company to the portfolio in Junior Resource Speculator.
