💪 Gold Faces Pressure

Gold prices remained steady today, but were on track for a third straight weekly loss, pressured by a stronger U.S. dollar and fading expectations of Federal Reserve rate cuts after robust economic data.

The Fed’s decision to hold rates steady and President Trump’s imposition of steep tariffs on multiple countries added to market uncertainty. Despite the headwinds, geopolitical and trade-related risks continue to offer some support to gold, a traditional safe-haven asset.

Meanwhile, other precious metals—silver, platinum, and palladium—also faced weekly declines, though physical gold demand in Asia showed slight improvement due to recent price dips.

😉 Licensed for Uranium

SSY, the world’s largest independent shipbroker, has announced the full acquisition of US-based Uranium Markets LLC, marking its entry into the nuclear energy sector through its commodities arm, SSY Futures.

Effective 1st August 2025, the partnership will see Uranium Markets, a leading brokerage in nuclear energy since 2014, continue operating under its name while leveraging SSY’s global scale. The move reflects the rising global demand for clean, reliable energy, driven by population growth and technologies like AI.

SSY leadership views the acquisition as a strategic expansion into a high-growth sector, while Uranium Markets sees it as an opportunity to scale operations and bring greater transparency and liquidity to the uranium market.
