Copper held a gain from the previous session as tensions in the Middle East eased and investors awaited trade data from the world’s top metal consuming country, China. Prices rebounded on Monday after Iran and Israel agreed to halt strikes against each other after a flare-up in violence threatened to derail negotiations with the US to end the wider conflict in the region. That reduced concerns over oil-driven inflation and the prospect of higher interest rates that could slow global economic growth and metals demand. Investors also watched for trade data out of China, due later on Tuesday, which was expected to have remained robust in May as strong demand for artificial intelligence hardware outweighed softer demand elsewhere. Sustained strong demand for the industrial metal means prices will rise to and average of $8 a pound ($17,636 a ton) in 2030 and 2031, according to Jefferies analysts, who adopted their previous bullish scenario as their new base case.

Other base metals also declined, with tin slipping 1% to $51,760 a ton.

Tiny X-Ray Telescope Could Unlock The Moon's Hidden Chemistry Authored by Tokyo Metropolitan University via ScienceDaily , Researchers at Tokyo Metropolitan University have used simulations to show that a small, newly developed X-ray telescope could help create a chemical map of the entire lunar surface . Such a map would be a major step toward understanding how the Moon formed, changed, and evolved over time. A new compact X-ray telescope could help scientists produce the first-ever complete map of the Moon’s chemical makeup. Credit: Shutterstock Their detailed modeling, which included both the telescope detector and a realistic Moon orbiting satellite mission, suggests that one telescope could map five important elements in about two years. A larger five by five array of detectors could produce sharper maps and complete the work more quickly. Mapping The Moon's Chemistry The Moon's geological history is still not fully understood . One major reason is that scientists do not yet have a complete geochemical map of the lunar surface. Because researchers cannot simply collect samples from every part of the Moon, they must rely on remote sensing methods. One of these methods is X-ray fluorescence imaging. In this approach, detectors are pointed at the Moon to capture X-rays emitted by specific elements after they are struck by solar radiation. Those signals can help reveal which elements are present across different regions of the surface. Why Complete Lunar Maps Are Difficult Earlier observations from the Apollo and Chandrayaan missions produced useful partial maps, but a full global map is still missing. Creating one is technically difficult for several reasons. Missions have limited time to gather enough sunlight driven X-ray signals, and detectors can degrade during long periods in space. The problem is especially difficult near the Moon's poles. In these regions, solar X-rays are weaker, which makes it harder to collect the signals needed to identify surface eleme...

MF3d/iStock via Getty Images While there was a small rebound in weekend trading in addition to the start of the week on Monday, Bitcoin ( BTC-USD ) remains one of the more notable pain trades of late. As shown below, the world's largest cryptocurrency has been in a downtrend since last fall when it broke below its 200-DMA. With a series of lower highs and lower lows since then, Bitcoin made an attempt to run up to that moving average as recently as mid-May, but the steep leg lower since then has resulted in 52-week lows last week when it traded below $60K for the first time since October 2024. Talk about an ugly chart... In the chart below, we show bitcoin drawdowns from all-time highs since 2017 (when the crypto first traded above $1,000 and roughly when it came into the mainstream). It goes without saying that Bitcoin has been a volatile instrument. Since the start of 2017, it has been in a 37% drawdown on average. That includes a couple of extended periods without new highs, such as from 2018 through 2020 and 2022 through 2024. The crypto again finds itself in not only a longstanding drawdown (as of Monday it is on its 245th day without a fresh high, the third longest streak on record), but nearly cut in half versus its high from last October.
