The global metals market remained mixed on Tuesday as precious metals moved lower while industrial metals continued showing strength. Silver remained the biggest standout with a massive 126.97% yearly gain even after falling 2.73% during the day. Prices stood at $74.84 per troy ounce.<\/p>\n

Gold also slipped 1.15% to $4458.41 per troy ounce. Weekly losses reached 1.86% while monthly losses touched 3.10%. Despite the recent correction, gold is still up 35.52% compared to last year as investors continue treating the metal as a long term safe haven asset.<\/p>\n

The broader metals market showed signs of profit booking after strong rallies earlier this year.<\/p>\n

Silver and copper prices stay strong despite short term pullback<\/h2>\n

Silver prices have remained one of the strongest performers in the commodity market this year. The metal is now up 5.01% year to date and continues to attract attention from both industrial buyers and investors.<\/p>\n

Copper prices stayed relatively stable at $6.36 per pound with only a 0.11% daily decline. The metal has gained 12.19% this year and 36.84% over the past 12 months. Analysts continue to watch copper closely because it is widely seen as a signal of global industrial demand and economic activity.<\/p>\n

HRC steel prices also showed strength. Prices rose 23.85% year to date and climbed 38.69% from last year to reach $1158.04 per tonne. Steel prices in China remained mostly flat with a slight 0.10% daily increase.<\/p>\n

Iron ore prices stayed under pressure in the Chinese market. Iron Ore CNY prices slipped 2.31% on a weekly basis while global iron ore prices fell 0.37% on the day.<\/p>\n

Lithium jumps 187.80% YoY as battery metals remain in focus<\/h2>\n

Battery related metals continued attracting attention in the market. Lithium prices stood at 177000 CNY per tonne after falling 1.67% during the session. Even with the short term decline, lithium has surged 187.80% over the past year and nearly 50% year to date.<\/p>\n

Cobalt hydroxide prices remained stable at $56526.46 per metric tonne. Yearly gains still remain very high at 86.13%.<\/p>\n

Platinum prices dropped 0.69% to $1938.20 per troy ounce. The metal is down 6.61% this year despite being up more than 81% compared to last year.<\/p>\n

Titanium prices remained unchanged while silicon and scrap steel prices continued showing weakness on a monthly basis.<\/p>\n

The latest market moves show that industrial and battery metals are still holding strong long term momentum even as short term corrections continue across global commodity markets.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
