Lundin Mining Corporation

Section1: Commodity Update:

Gold surged towards ~$3,100 per ounce on April 9, 2025, adding more than 3% rise from the previous session, fueled by safe-haven demand amid escalating US-China tensions. President Trump raised tariffs on Chinese imports to 125%, just hours after China increased duties on US goods to 84%. This series of back-and-forth tariff hikes between the two major economies overshadowed a broader de-escalation in trade tensions, as the US lowered duties to 10% for a 90-day period to support trade talks with most countries. Meanwhile, markets continued to digest the latest FOMC minutes, which showed near-unanimous concerns over higher inflation and slower growth. Elsewhere, the World Gold Council reported gold-backed ETFs saw inflows of 226.5 metric tons, worth $21.1 billion, in Q1 2025. In summary, the outlook for gold remains attractive, with prices reaching new highs due to geopolitical tensions and economic uncertainties.
