EGR Exploration:沿阿比蒂比趋势进行战略定位的独特初级黄金公司

2023.08.02 自美联储最近决定再次加息以来,黄金市场受到了轻微的震动,目前利率已达到 22 年来的最高水平。 虽然这样的举动并没有让大多数人感到震惊,但它确实让我们更接近利率峰值——并最终导致美联储转向——这对黄金来说是个好消息。因为当美联储扭转政策时,往往会削弱美元和收益率,而这两者都是黄金的竞争对手。 彭博资讯高级宏观策略师迈克·麦格隆 (Mike McGlone) 对雅虎财经报告表示:“收益率开始转向美联储的转向,看起来黄金即将爆发。我认为这些婴儿潮一代的岩石,他们已经为繁荣做好了准备。” McGlone 解释说:“过去10年左右对黄金构成压力的关键因素是美国股市的表现优于全球。” 关键的触发因素将是美国股市继续跑输世界其他地区,而黄金将成为闪亮的明星。 CMC […]

由于行业管道项目很少,Copper Road 的勘探故事值得关注 – Richard Mills

2023.07.24 简而言之,实现净零排放的道路始于铜,终于铜。所有支持可再生能源的基础设施都使用大量铜,因为金属是高效的电和热导体。 为了保持能源转型的继续,将需要数百万英尺的铜线来加强世界电网,并且还需要数十万吨的铜线来建设风能和太阳能发电厂。例如,海上风力涡轮机每兆瓦发电量含有 8 吨铜。 电动汽车现在是需求快速增长的一个来源,其使用的铜量是汽油动力汽车的两倍多,汽油动力汽车的铜含量约为 30 公斤。更不用说,平均每个家庭都有超过 180 公斤的铜,这提醒我们这种金属是多么不可或缺。 综上所述,展望未来,对铜的需求将是惊人的。 铜供应缺口 麦肯锡预计,到 […]

2023.07.19 作为经济健康状况的领先指标,铜的表现经常受到密切关注,因为它是否能够预示即将到来的经济放缓,这是自去年以来一直存在的主题。 然而,最近铜价的上涨引发了人们的信念,即无论经济发生什么,铜的基本面都相当强大——甚至可能比大多数人想象的还要强劲。 由于对经济衰退的广泛担忧,铜价较 2023 年初的高点下跌了 17%,但随后出现反弹,上涨近 10%,至每吨 8500 美元附近。 卡森集团首席市场策略师瑞安·德特里克 (Ryan Detrick) […]

谈论美联储实现所谓的“软着陆”还为时过早

2023.07.13 在经济学中,“软着陆”广泛指的是在经历了一段成功避免衰退的增长期之后经济适度放缓。从隐喻上讲,它类似于该术语最初在航空领域的使用方式——飞行员试图让飞机平稳着陆而不坠毁。 当肩负着阻止经济因高通胀而过热的任务时,美联储等央行通常会提高利率,使其刚好足以引发经济放缓(即软着陆),但不足以引发严重的经济衰退(称为“硬着陆”)。 虽然定义“软着陆”的量化因素长期以来一直存在争议,但在失业率不大幅飙升(最好低于 5%)的情况下让通胀率回到或接近 2% 的目标通常被视为基本要求。 “软着陆”一词在前美联储主席艾伦·格林斯潘 (Alan Greenspan) 任职期间首次流行,人们普遍认为他在 1994 年至 […]

美国能源部报告草案重申包括石墨在内的六种关键矿物的紧急状态

2023.06.17 随着清洁能源转型的快速推进,关键矿物现在处于国际讨论的前沿,因为它们是我们许多现代技术的基石,对国家安全和经济繁荣至关重要。 对于世界领先的经济体美国而言,确保这些矿产的可靠供应尤为重要,这不仅可以维持其主导地位,还可以摆脱对中国等主要竞争对手的供应依赖。 因此,该国一直忙于与其主要盟友联系,以加强关键矿物的供应并使其多样化。今年到目前为止,美国已与日本和澳大利亚签署了合作协议,以确保其拥有稳健的供应链和最新能源技术的专业知识。 日本的协议也有望成为备受期待的与欧盟达成协议的框架,该协议仍在谈判中。 早在 2022 年 6 月,在俄罗斯入侵乌克兰之后,美国及其七国集团伙伴已经启动了全球基础设施和投资伙伴关系 (PGII),以建立清洁能源供应链。他们还签署了矿产安全合作伙伴关系,以生产、加工和回收关键矿产。 这些举措标志着一种通常被称为“联合产业政策”的现象的出现,即各国在国际层面协调其产业战略并共同建立供应链。 约翰霍普金斯大学的一项研究发现,民主国家之间的伙伴关系将能够生产足够的矿物 […]
