Allerdings muss man zur Kenntnis nehmen das durch Information und KI offenbar deutlich mehr an Wertschöpfung entsteht als vor 10 Jahren - in USA sind ja genau diese Aktien und Finanzen die Zugpferde......und soviel Kupfer braucht es wohl anscheinend nicht für Chips, als für Autos, Maschinen etc.
ist auf der einen seite für mich die größte künstlich aufgepumpte blase, zum anderen auch ein maximales risiko im gebrauch. ich denke, dass der einsatz solch gestützter software schlicht nicht handhabbar sein wird. es mögen potenzielle einsatzbereiche existieren, aber wir hatten auch schon firmenintern die frage erörtert, was passiert, wenn solche informationssysteme beginnen, nicht mehr nur "echte" tatsachen zu verarbeiten, sondern schlicht info-beziehungen herstellen, die, um es salopp zu formulieren, "an den haaren herbeigezogen" sind!

Inflation: Verbraucherpreise in den USA steigen stärker als erwartet https://de.investing.com/news/econo...-den-usa-steigen-starker-als-erwartet-2551766
Investing.com - Die Verbraucherpreise in den USA stiegen im Januar stärker als gedacht, hauptsächlich aufgrund gestiegener Unterbringungs- und Gesundheitskosten. ...
=> ich muss ehrlich sagen, dass ich selbst die wirtschaftssituation (global betrachtet) nicht verstehe. die us-indizes werden von wenigen, stark gewichteten aktien zu immer neuen ath gewuchtet, die breite basis fehlt hier (so bilde ich mir das ein). der ki-ballon ist in meinen augen zudem aufgepumpt ohne ende (und damit möchte ich einen bestimmten wert an der künftigen wertschöpfung nicht absprechen). als (ehemalige) wirtschaftsgroßmacht schwächelt. der us-arbeitsmarkt ist darüberhinaus stark und stabil, die lohnentwicklung dürfte auch bei den amis sich an den verbraucherpreisen orientieren.
und ganz allgemein gesprochen - und das kann man ja auch im netz lesen (ich werte das nicht) - verstehen nicht wenige marktakteure den seit oktober vergangenen jahres rennende börsen-hausse, die quasi aus dem stand eine 180°-wende vollzogen hat. ich vergleiche die situation mit einem, nur in der theorie funktionierendem, perpetuum mobile. keine ahnung wie lange diese hausse noch laufen mag, die noch engagierten shorties haben jedenfalls mit dazu beigetragen, dass der bullenlauf weiter genährt wurde. bin gespannt, ob bzw. wann einmal eine konsolidierung einsetzt, die den namen auc verdient.
=> genug gefaselt. punkt. also, ich bin bekennender nichtsblicker, und wünsche allseits einen schönen abend.

Integra drills 134.11 m of 1.46 g/t AuEq at DeLamar
INTEGRA INTERSECTS 1.46 G/T AUEQ OVER 134 M IN METALLURGICAL DRILL PROGRAM AT DELAMAR
Integra Resources Corp. has released the second set of drill results from the 4,597-metre 2023 high-wall geotechnical and metallurgical drill program at the DeLamar project, located in southwestern Idaho. The results announced today include 20 drill holes representing 2,290 m from the highwall geotechnical and metallurgical drill program which was completed in November 2023.
The core samples from the drill program will be used for comprehensive mineralogical analysis, Crusher Work Index ("CWI") testing and additional heap leach recovery analysis, including bottle roll, permeability and column leach testwork. The metallurgical drill results from the program will be used to develop an advanced geo-metallurgical model that will support future economic studies at the Project. Geotechnical drilling was also completed in the proposed open pits at the Project to further bolster the 3D geotechnical model and to provide additional data for the Draft Mine Plan of Operations ("MPO"), which was submitted to the U.S. Bureau of Land Management ("BLM") in December 2023.

Freehold earns $34.3-million in Q4
Mr. David Spyker reports
FREEHOLD ROYALTIES ANNOUNCES FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR 2023 RESULTS, RESERVES AND GUIDANCE FOR 2024
Freehold Royalties Ltd. has released fourth quarter and year-end results for the period ended Dec. 31, 2023.
President's Message
Freehold showcased the strength of our unique North American portfolio in 2023, with exposure to a stable production base in Canada, and growing oil weighted volumes in the U.S. Over the last four years we have structurally improved our business through exposure to the top-tier basins across North America, enhancing the sustainability of drilling on our lands and returns to our shareholders. We achieved 100% organic reserves replacement in 2023, demonstrating the strength of our asset base. This evolution has resulted in $163 million in dividends returned to our shareholders, while maintaining conservative debt levels (0.4 times net debt to trailing funds from operations).
2023 and Fourth Quarter Highlights included:

NYMEX OVERVIEW: ULTRA-LOW-SULFUR DIESEL LEADS REVERSAL -- OPIS
7 March 2024, 19:38
After a slow start in petroleum futures a turnaround in ULSD futures prices has lifted the entire complex and turned losses into gains shortly after midday.
The move in diesel has been enough to reverse the rest of the market at a time of year when ULSD is typically the laggard. Not only has diesel reversed, but the strong move higher is now getting to the point where back to back days of increases are largely offsetting the losses at the beginning of the week.
Not only is the front month diesel contract moving higher, it is doing so at a pace that is not being met by outer contracts and, as a result, the April contract holds nearly 6cts above the May contract. After being down some 2cts earlier, April ULSD futures are now up 3.19cts at $2.6941/gal. Trade sources note that some buying was triggered after the contract got back above $2.66/gal and that brought ULSD briefly above the $2.70/gal level.
Losses in RBOB are now gains in the 1.25-1.5cts range for second-quarter contracts, led by May which was last printing at $2.5674/gal and just fractions of a cent off the earlier highs.
While futures have moved higher, physical markets are a bit more mixed with the Chicago and New York markets seeing increases in the 1.5-2.5cts range at midday.
April WTI has not jumped back across the $79/bbl level, trading at $79.28/bbl and topping out at $79.36/bbl recently. While the contract has spent some time above $80/bbl, a settlement above that level has continued to be elusive. The Brent contract is also moving higher and increases there are a bit more than WTI with May Brent last trading up 29cts at $83.25/bbl.
