Breakthrough reached.......for the one thousand, six hundred & thirty second time........
BREAKING: A breakthrough has been reached between the United States and Iran, both sides have agreed to preliminary measures concerning Iran’s nuclear program, navigation through the Strait of Hormuz and financial incentives for Tehran.
China and Russia are set to be guarantors of the agreement, the Iranian delegation has flown to Doha alongside the Qatari mediators to continue negotiations later today, according to Qatari Al Araby Al Jadeed.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The report of a confirmed US-Iran breakthrough and agreed measures relies on unverified claims from anonymous sources in one Qatari outlet; Axios and other diplomatic reporting describe ongoing mediation with positive progress but no confirmed agreement or direct talks.

All these Labour MP's coming out saying they are worried about Poundland jobs in their constituency.
Labour hiked up employer NI & min wage & energy bills have gone through the roof.
The chickens have come home to roost !
You cut BADR in half !!!
You've put up min wage again !
You've already increased NI on businesses.
Energy prices have exploded out of control.
Why don't you start your own business & see how you get on ?
I suspect like me millions of people in the UK want @reformparty_uk @Conservatives @RestoreBritain to get their act together & unite so we can be rid of Labour.
Personally I'm fed up with the fighting between the right leaning party's.
Do the right thing by the country !!!

Hidden away on page 111 of the Budget - 'The government is providing £150 million capital investment in 2027-28 to fund additional large sites to accommodate asylum seekers'
A treasonous decision.
Every penny of that should be directed towards a programme of mass deportations.

That’s a pre-election Budget if ever I’ve seen one…giveaways & freebies now, while kicking the tough calls into the long grass…the magic money tree gets one last shake…jam tomorrow, election in May…
Don't bother saving outside an ISA. Simply not worth it.
Useless Labour.
NEW. Additional tax on savings interest (outside of your personal savings allowance and cash ISAs) from April 2027
Basic rate taxpayer: 24% on savings interest and property income
Higher rate taxpayer: 44%
Top rate taxpayer: 49%
So the fact the cash ISA is staying at £20,000 per year is even more important. #Budget2026

Copper supply faces fresh disruption risks as a Chilean blockade and a Canadian strike affect major operations.
• Codelco Blockade: Workers blocked entrances at Chile’s Ministro Hales mine on Monday in a dispute over safety practices and unpaid bonuses
• Contagion Risk: A union leader warns protests could expand to Chuquicamata, Radomiro Tomic, and Gabriela Mistral
• Production at Risk: Chile’s largest copper mines average 5.2% of production at risk from strikes, severe weather, accidents, and geological problems (GEM Mining Consulting Index) – led by El Teniente (9%), Los Pelambres (8%), and Escondida (7.5%)
• Canadian Disruption: 1,200+ workers at Teck’s Highland Valley Copper (Canada’s largest open-pit copper mine) walked off the job on Saturday
With demand growing from power grids, EVs, and data centers, mine-site operational risk continues to tighten physical copper balances.

Copper supply issues ahead only means on thing on price !
Following up on yesterday's post, here is what the 12-month chart looks like for the Yangshan premium, which yesterday hit a RECORD $178 per tonne of copper. That record broke again this morning. This tells us that despite all the macro noise, nothing has changed in the PHYSICAL world.
The Yangshan copper premium is the extra cost paid over the benchmark London Metal Exchange (LME) price to import refined copper into China.
The RECORD premium signals a lack of available short-term supply, strong domestic demand and low local warehouse inventories.
China is the world's largest consumer of refined copper, accounting for ~60% of global consumption. This problem is not unique to China, as other major economies around the world also face the same reality when they try to get their hands on copper metal... they have to pay up.
The copper market only wants to react upwards when the physical market globally is tight and shows no signs of easing.
Buy CAML & hold it.......it will do very well over time in terms of both dividends & capital growth (share price).
Copper shortage is not going away & it's now the perfect high cash generator with material resource exploration assets.
I've been adding.
CAML superb news for shareholders with a major acquisition completed, significant uplift in resources & now an additional listing on TSX. 👏
Brazil voted for more socialism today.
Wake up UK or this is coming to us !
Mad Ed applauded the result today.
Socialism ends only one way. Everyone loses.
The Brazil stock market crashed 14% today on this news & the country is enduring 13.75% base interest rates with almost zero growth & inflation at nearly 5%.
Welcome to socialism !!!
