    Copper climbs, tariff concerns continue

    Benchmark LME copper futures are more than 9% higher so far this year, and Comex copper is 16% higher YTD, with the Comex now trading at a 10%-12% premium over LME, and Morgan Stanley analysts see more room for growth.

    “We stay constructive on copper, our preferred base metal,” Morgan Stanley wrote. “Fundamentals and price signals are positive, and inventories are tightening as metal gets pulled to the U.S. Tariffs may bring demand concerns in the future, but for now physical markets continue to tighten.”

    Amundi Physical Metals expands gold-backed ETC offerings

    The Amundi Physical Gold ETC is designed to track the performance of gold prices, offering an alternative to direct investment in the precious metal. The securities are backed by allocated gold stored in secure vaults, with each ETC security representing a specific entitlement to gold, which diminishes slightly each day to cover operational expenses at an annual rate of 0.12%.

    Investors should note that the ETC securities are not the equivalent of investing in gold directly, as they are financial instruments subject to market fluctuations and other risks inherent to securities trading.

    Robert Kiyosaki Says Buy Silver ASAP

    “I HATE to say this…. But the banking crash Jim Rickards, Jim Rogers, Ray Dallio and I have been warning you about has started. Even if you have very little money you may still be able to profit from this crash. All you need is a few extra dollars…. Because you can still afford to buy a few real silver coins… before silver double[s] and triple[s],” Kiyosaki wrote.

    Gold dips and U.S. Treasury yields rise

    Spot gold fell 0.1% to $2,916.75 an ounce as of 11:55 a.m. ET (1655 GMT), after rising in the last three sessions. U.S. gold futures were flat at $2,925.

    “We are just seeing some mild profit-taking pressure from recent gains, the underlying fundamentals are still bullish… Another thing that’s putting some mild pressure on the gold market is a rise in bond yields,” said Jim Wyckoff, senior market analyst at Kitco Metals.

    The benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury yield hit a more than one-week high, reducing the appeal of non-yielding gold.

    Spot silver dipped 0.2% to $32.70 an ounce, palladium was steady at $942.25 and platinum was down 0.3% at $966.63.

    Gold prices rise higher, tariff concerns

    Gold prices ticked higher on Tuesday as focus turned to U.S. jobs and inflation data, that could influence the Federal Reserve’s policy decision in the face of rising economic growth concerns. 

    Spot gold (XAUUSD:CUR) +0.93% to $2,911.21 an ounce after hitting its lowest since March 3 in the previous session.

    Meanwhile, worries over Trump’s tariff policies have also pushed safe-haven gold to a record high of $2,956.15 on February 24, as the metal is seen as a hedge against political risks and inflation.
