😎 Trump Fuels Gold

Gold prices are set for a weekly gain, rising 2.1% so far, as a weaker U.S. dollar and growing safe-haven demand support bullion ahead of a looming July 9 trade tariff deadline imposed by U.S. President Trump.

Spot gold climbed 0.5% to $3,343.07 per ounce on Friday, while U.S. gold futures also edged higher. Investors are reacting to uncertainty surrounding Trump’s sweeping tax-cut bill, which passed Congress and added fiscal concerns, as well as cautious optimism following solid but mixed U.S. job data.

Meanwhile, platinum is heading for its fifth consecutive weekly rise, gaining 0.7%. Got any platinum juniors?

💪 Powering Nuclear Future

The final budget reconciliation bill has passed both chambers of the U.S. Congress and now awaits the President’s signature.

Maria Korsnick, President and CEO of the Nuclear Energy Institute, praised the bill as a strong endorsement of nuclear energy’s role in ensuring a reliable, affordable, and cleaner energy system.

She highlighted that continued tax credits for existing nuclear power will support life extensions and upgrades, while new credits for advanced nuclear generation will boost private sector investment and accelerate the deployment of next-generation reactors.
