Commodity Callout
It was another week of constrained movement, opening up buying opportunities for savvy investors. Copper fared better than most in terms of price movement.
Metal Price Update
Gold — Gold saw some upward movement, but had a stronger dollar to contend with. It started the week around $4,515 per ounce and got as high as $4,800 before a pullback brought it back to around $4,700. These kinds of swings are going to be normal in the volatile environment we’re witnessing, so choose your spot to buy in.
Silver — Silver saw similar patterns. It started just under $69 per ounce and got as high as $75 before it pulled back to around $72 as another victim of an unpredictable market.
Copper — Copper showed a bit more promise, starting around $5.40 per pound and ending around $5.65. Its swings won’t be as dramatic as gold and silver, but its pullbacks don’t seem to be as common either.
Lithium Carbonate — Lithium prices made another steady climb. They started the week just above $22,800 per metric ton and got as high as $23,800 before settling around $23,100. Recent policy changes from China are continuing to have an effect, so this gradual price increase could continue to be a trend.
Uranium — Uranium continued its trend of holding stable around $84.40 per pound. Demand has leveled off, so dramatic moves in the price of uranium are unlikely in the short term, but countries are seeing the need for energy security right now, so that may not last.
Company Callout
One company you should know about this week is Gladiator Metals Corp. (TSX-V: GLAD)(OTC: GDTRF).
The company controls promising copper properties and recently received a Class 3 Quartz Exploration Permit for its flagship Whitehorse Copper Project in Yukon. The project is past-producing and already has infrastructure in place, along with occurrences of molybdenum, gold, and silver alongside the copper.
The permit allows the company to expand its efforts and increase the scope of its work, so investors can expect more drilling in the immediate future. Funding is already in place and the company has plans to have drills turning at multiple sites throughout its property. The permitting was the last domino to fall into place, and now Gladiator is poised to be one of the big winners of the copper bull market.
