Gold climbs four-week peak as US Treasury yields, dollar fall
Representative image Gold hit a four-week high on Tuesday, as a weaker dollar and a dip in U.S. Treasury yields boosted demand for the safe-haven metal amid mounting worries over an economic slowdown. FUNDAMENTALS * Spot gold was up 0.4% at $1,778.69 per ounce, as of 0044 GMT, its highest since July 5. * U.S. gold futures gained 0.2% to $1,791.10 per ounce. * The dollar fell 0.2% to a near one-month low against its rivals, making greenback-denominated gold less expensive for other currency holders.

Crude oil heads for 10% weekly collapse as slowdown hits demand
Oil headed for a punishing weekly loss on increasing evidence that a global economic slowdown is spurring demand destruction, with prices collapsing to the lowest level in six months. West Texas Intermediate steadied below $89 a barrel in Asia, with the US benchmark down more than 10% this week. Official data showed US gasoline consumption has softened while crude stockpiles rose. The slump came even as Saudi Arabia has boosted prices, and OPEC+ warned of scant spare capacity. After surging in the first five months of the year crude’s rally has been thrown into reverse, with losses deepening this month after falls in June and July. The sell-off, which has wiped out gains triggered by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, will ease the inflationary pressures coursing through the global economy that have spurred central banks including the Federal Reserve to hike rates. “The market is still struggling on the back of a deteriorating demand picture in the US, with pressure on its … [Read more...] about Crude oil heads for 10% weekly collapse as slowdown hits demand
Perseids Meteor Shower 2022: Why You Should Shun Next Week’s Powerful Annual Event And See This Instead
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Have you ever gone out of your way to plan a meteor shower event? The annual Perseid meteor shower peaks next week overnight on Friday/Saturday, August 12/13 and, under normal circumstances and in clear weather, I would advise you go somewhere dark—at least 25 miles from the nearest town—lay on your back at midnight and watch up to 100 “shooting stars” whizz over you. It’s worth the hassle. Usually. But probably not this year. Although I hate to discourage people from enjoying the night sky, there's really no point in making plans to see this year's Perseid meteor shower if you’re expecting to see 100 “shooting stars” in an hour. That’s not going to happen this year. Blame the full Moon, which rises on Friday, August 12—just hours before the predicted peak of the Perseids. The biggest natural light polluter of all, a full Moon doesn't just mean a lighter sky in which shooting stars are harder to spot. It … [Read more...] about Perseids Meteor Shower 2022: Why You Should Shun Next Week’s Powerful Annual Event And See This Instead
A Full ‘Sturgeon Supermoon’ Will Rise This Week. Here’s Exactly When To See It At Its Best Where You Are
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Are you ready for the final “supermoon” of 2022? Although it has perhaps the oddest name of any full Moon there are some good reasons to watch our satellite appear on the eastern horizon. Not only will it be draped in gorgeous orange hues—as every rising Moon is when seen on the horizon—but the full “Sturgeon Moon” also happens to be the final supermoon of 2022. Depending on what definition of supermoon you use it's either the third or the second supermoon of the year. Either way it will be the second-largest looking full Moon of the year thanks to it being 100% illuminated by the Sun less than 10 hours after it being at its closest point to the Earth in its monthly orbit. Here's everything you need to know about the full “Sturgeon Moon” including exactly when, where and how to see it at its biggest, brightest and best from where you are: When is the ‘Sturgeon Moon?’ The full “Sturgeon Supermoon” will occur … [Read more...] about A Full ‘Sturgeon Supermoon’ Will Rise This Week.

Editor Daily Rundown: Biden Invokes Emergency War Powers To Build Solar Panels
BIDEN INVOKES EMERGENCY WAR POWERS TO BUILD SOLAR PANELS… NY POST: Biden draws heat for invoking Defense Production Act to boost solar panels President Biden drew criticism Monday after invoking the Defense Production Act to potentially expedite the production of solar panels — with journalists and Republicans questioning the rationale for using special wartime powers. Renewable energy advocates, meanwhile, cheered the White House announcement that Biden would invoke the act “to accelerate domestic production of clean energy technologies, including solar panel parts.” […] The Biden administration did not specify a national-defense reason for using the act to boost solar panels. When Biden was vice president, the Obama administration aggressively pushed for solar energy production — sparking the Solyndra scandal when a politically-connected firm went bankrupt after getting $535 million in federal loan guarantees.

The Richest Countries In The World: Tiny Luxembourg At The Top
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Most of the countries at the top of a new list of the wealthiest in the world are not among the biggest or the mightiest. Many, in fact, are among the smallest: Consider Luxembourg , which tops the list published by Global Finance. Singapore, Ireland, Qatar, Macao and Switzerland follow the world’s only grand duchy. The indicators of a nation’s wealth can vary from one ranking to another — thus the differences among them — but often include a country’s Gross Domestic Product, or GDP (goods and services produced by a country during one year), the GDP per capita (the average amount of money that each person in a country earns in a year) or the gross national income, or GNI.
