Gold prices extend gains

Spot gold was up 1.3% at $3,122.02 an ounce at 1129 GMT, after its biggest daily gain since October 2023 on Wednesday. U.S. gold futures were up 1.9% at $3,137.80.

“We’re just living in a world of extreme uncertainty. We just don’t really know which way this trade war is going to go … I think for the course of this year, gold will march higher,” said Nitesh Shah, commodities strategist at WisdomTree.

Spot silver fell 0.6% to $30.85 an ounce, platinum lost 0.4% to $933.55, and palladium was down 1.7% at $915.68.

    Indonesia trade ministry supports extending Freeport’s copper export permit

    Freeport’s last export permit expired at the end of 2024, but the company has requested it can continue selling copper concentrate abroad because its local copper smelter was in repair after a fire in October last year.

    “The trade ministry supports a plan to relax the export policy after weighing the cost and benefit analysis … while also observing the sustainability of the government’s natural resource downstreaming policy,” deputy minister Dyah Roro Esti said in a statement.

    Freeport Indonesia said that it’s currently negotiating with the government over the export permit and believed the government “would accommodate” it.
