ANTO) Share Price & Outlook – Latest News, Broker Targets and Copper Market Forecasts as of 2 December 2025

By |2025-12-02T15:25:04+02:00December 2, 2025|Forex News, News|0 Comments


Antofagasta plc, the FTSE 100 copper miner with all of its producing assets in Chile, is trading close to record highs as investors lean into the global copper story – electrification, AI data centres and grid upgrades – while watching costs, capex and Chilean risk very closely.

This article pulls together the latest price moves, company results, broker forecasts and copper market outlooks available up to 2 December 2025, to give a structured view of where Antofagasta stock stands now and what could drive it into 2026.

Disclaimer: This article is for information and general commentary only. It is not investment advice or a recommendation to buy or sell any security.

Where the Antofagasta share price stands on 2 December 2025

On the morning of 2 December 2025, Antofagasta’s own investor website showed the share price fluctuating around 2,805–2,820p, with a modest intraday decline of around 0.5% at 10:22 UK time after a strong run the previous day. [1]

Key near-term context:

  • On Monday 1 December, the share was among the top FTSE 100 risers, trading around 2,833p, up roughly 2.5% intraday as copper prices moved higher and the broader index drifted lower. [2]
  • Over the last 12 months the stock has traded between roughly 1,278p and 2,877p, meaning it currently sits well over 100% above its 52‑week low and close to its record high zone. [3]

Short‑term technical commentary from trading site StockInvest notes:

  • Close on 1 December 2025 at 2,820p, up 2.25% on the day.
  • 52‑week range 1,278–2,877p and a 30‑day range of 2,496–2,838p, underscoring elevated volatility near the top of the range.
  • Their model currently flags the stock as short‑term “sell” on overbought technicals, with an expectation of a possible pullback from these levels. [4]

From a valuation angle, a recent analyst consensus snapshot compiled by DirectorsTalk at the end of November showed:

  • Average 12‑month target price: ~2,631.6p
  • Share price at that time: ~2,577p
  • Implied upside: just over 2% then – but now the stock is trading above that average target. [5]

The same data set pointed to:

  • Trailing P/E: ~23x
  • Forward P/E: ~16.5x
  • Dividend yield: ~1.2%, with a payout ratio of about 29%. [6]

In other words: Antofagasta is being valued as a high‑quality growth copper producer rather than a deep‑value cyclical.

Earnings momentum: H1 2025 results were exceptionally strong

Antofagasta’s 2025 Half Year Results, published on 14 August 2025, marked one of its strongest interim performances in years. [7]

Headline numbers for the six months to 30 June 2025:

  • Revenue: rose 29% year‑on‑year to $3.80bn (from $2.96bn).
  • EBITDA: jumped 60% to $2.23bn (from $1.39bn).
  • EBITDA margin: expanded from 47.2% to 58.8%, putting Antofagasta at the upper end of global pure‑play copper producers by margin. [8]
  • Profit before tax: up 63% to $1.16bn. [9]
  • Underlying EPS: more than doubled to 47.4 cents (from 22.4 cents). [10]
  • Operating cash flow: up 22% to $1.81bn. [11]
  • Interim dividend:16.6 cents per share, up 110% versus 2024’s 7.9 cents, keeping payout consistent with their capital allocation framework. [12]

Operational drivers:

  • H1 2025 copper production reached 314,900 tonnes, up 11% year‑on‑year, mainly from higher output at the big concentrators (Los Pelambres and Centinela Concentrates). [13]
  • Cash costs before by‑product credits fell 12% to $2.32/lb, while net cash costs dropped 32% to $1.32/lb, thanks to higher volumes and stronger by‑product contributions. [14]

Reuters summarised the half‑year as a roughly 60% surge in core earnings, highlighting the company’s outperformance versus other FTSE 100 miners that were reporting weaker results. Analysts at RBC called the numbers unusually “clean”, and the interim dividend more than doubled year‑on‑year. [15]

Management reiterated that Antofagasta is on track to deliver over 30% growth in copper output in the medium term, driven primarily by:

  • The Centinela Second Concentrator project.
  • Growth‑enabling projects at Los Pelambres (pipeline replacement and desalination expansion). [16]

Q3 2025: production steady, costs lower, guidance fine‑tuned

The Q3 2025 Production Report (23 October 2025) confirms that the strong first half was not a fluke. [17]

Key Q3 and year‑to‑date figures:

  • Q3 copper production:161,800 tonnes, up 1% quarter‑on‑quarter.
  • 9M 2025 copper production:476,600 tonnes, 2.8–3% higher than the same period in 2024. [18]
  • Gold production: 145,000 ounces year‑to‑date, up 22% year‑on‑year, with Q3 gold up 12% quarter‑on‑quarter. [19]
  • Molybdenum production: 11,400 tonnes in 9M, up 44% year‑on‑year, although Q3 output dipped versus Q2 on lower grades. [20]

Costs and guidance:

  • Cash costs before by‑product credits in 9M were about $2.35/lb, down around 7% vs 2024. [21]
  • Net cash costs year‑to‑date:$1.24/lb; in Q3 alone, net cash costs were even lower at $1.07/lb, thanks largely to record by‑product credits of $1.35/lb (driven by higher gold output and favourable pricing). [22]

Guidance tweaks:

  • 2025 copper production: management now expects to land at the lower end of the original 660,000–700,000 tonne range. [23]
  • Net cash cost guidance for 2025 has been cut from $1.45–1.65/lb to $1.20–1.30/lb – a meaningful improvement, reflecting very strong by‑product markets and ongoing cost discipline. [24]
  • 2025 capex guidance has been reduced from $3.9bn to $3.6bn, primarily due to the depreciation of the Chilean peso rather than project cancellations. Citi interprets the lower 2025 capex as partly a deferral into 2026 rather than a fundamental cut. [25]
  • 2026 copper production guidance has been set at 650,000–700,000 tonnes, still implying robust levels of output despite a tight global copper concentrate market. [26]

Project pipeline and labour:

  • Major growth projects at Centinela and Los Pelambres remain on track and on budget, including assembly of high‑pressure grinding rolls, progress on desalination facilities and replacement of the concentrate pipeline. [27]
  • The group has concluded several key three‑year labour agreements at Los Pelambres, Antucoya and Zaldívar, with only one remaining negotiation scheduled in 2025 – reducing near‑term labour disruption risk. [28]

Copper market squeeze: why the macro backdrop matters so much

Antofagasta is effectively a leveraged play on copper, so global copper fundamentals are crucial.

Several recent pieces of research and newsflow paint a consistent picture of a tightening copper market out to 2026:

Treatment charges collapsing, sign of a concentrate shortage

  • In June 2025, Reuters reported that some Chinese smelters agreed to process Antofagasta’s copper concentrate at $0 per tonne and 0 cents per pound in treatment and refining charges (TC/RCs), a shocking benchmark that underscores how scarce concentrate has become. [29]
  • That deal contrasts sharply with the 2025 annual benchmark TC/RCs of $21.25/t and 2.125c/lb that Antofagasta agreed with Jiangxi Copper, as highlighted later by Fastmarkets. [30]
  • Fastmarkets notes that spot TC indices in Asia are deeply negative, and that 2026 negotiations are likely to be the “toughest year yet”, with traders bidding aggressively for concentrate and smelters relying heavily on by‑product revenues (notably gold and sulfuric acid) just to break even. [31]

Forecast concentrate deficits:

  • Consultancy estimates cited by Reuters put the global copper concentrate deficit at around 1.1 million tonnes in 2025 and 2.6 million tonnes in 2026. [32]
  • Fastmarkets panelists expect a 300,000–500,000 tonne deficit in 2026, with mine production not keeping pace with electrification and AI‑driven demand. [33]

Price forecasts out to 2026

  • Deutsche Bank, in a late‑November outlook, raised its 2026 copper price forecast to $10,600 per tonne, with peak prices expected to exceed $11,000/t in the first half of that year. [34]
  • The bank expects mine supply to fall in 2025 and increase only about 1% in 2026, reinforcing a market in sustained deficit. [35]
  • Fastmarkets’ 2026 webinar recap suggests a base‑case range of $10,000–$11,000/t, with bear‑case scenarios around $8,000 and bull cases at $12,000 or higher if disruptions continue and policy shocks (like tariffs) tighten trade flows. [36]

Citi’s view, quoted in Reuters’ Q3 coverage, is that Antofagasta’s relatively conservative 2026 production guidance at one of the “best‑run” copper operations is another sign of a supply‑constrained global copper market. [37]

All of this matters for Antofagasta because:

  • Its costs (especially net cash costs) are now solidly in the lowest third of the cost curve once by‑products are considered. [38]
  • Its medium‑term growth (+30% output) is timing into a period when multiple analysts expect structural deficits and incentive‑level prices.

If copper holds anywhere near the $10k–$11k/t band, Antofagasta’s margins and cash generation could remain very strong. On the flip side, any macro shock that knocks copper down towards the $8k/t bear‑case would hit earnings hard.

Broker ratings and valuation snapshot: what are analysts saying?

Recent broker and market‑data snippets provide a mixed but generally constructive picture.

Deutsche Bank

Deutsche Bank’s late‑November copper sector note:

  • Maintains “Hold” on Antofagasta.
  • Raises the target price from 2,300p to 2,400p. [39]

Given that the stock is now around 2,800p, the new DB target implies downside from current levels, signalling that the bank sees much of the copper bull case as already in the price.

Consensus and fundamentals

The DirectorsTalk aggregation shows:

  • Consensus target: ~2,632p.
  • Current trading: above that consensus, signalling limited short‑term upside in broker models at today’s price. [40]
  • Forward P/E around 16–17x and EV/EBITDA around 9–10x, measured when the share price was lower than today, suggest the market is happy to pay a growth multiple for high‑margin copper exposure. [41]

Short‑term trading services:

  • StockInvest currently classifies the stock as a short‑term sell based on overbought technical indicators near the top of its trading channel, even as the medium‑term trend remains positive. [42]
  • MarketsMojo commentary in late November highlighted multiple intraday surges of 3–5% in the stock, and at least one piece of their templated analysis tagged Antofagasta as a “Strong Buy” within their style‑based framework, though the underlying metrics are paywalled. [43]

In summary:
Fundamental brokers seem to see Antofagasta as fully valued to slightly rich at current prices, while momentum‑oriented services still highlight strong trend strength but warn about short‑term overheating.

ESG, growth projects and long‑term positioning

Antofagasta has been trying to position itself not just as a copper producer, but as a low‑carbon, infrastructure‑ready supplier to the energy transition.

Recent developments include:

  • Hydrogen locomotive pilot: In late November, Antofagasta’s transport division FCAB launched Latin America’s first hydrogen‑powered freight locomotive, using hydrogen produced from renewable sources in a hybrid fuel‑cell and battery system. The locomotive delivers about 1,000 kW of power while being roughly 30 tonnes lighter than a comparable diesel unit. [44]
  • The pilot forms part of a broader decarbonisation strategy, including:
    • A target to cut Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 50% by 2035;
    • A long‑term goal of carbon neutrality by 2050 across mining and transport operations. [45]

On the mining side, structural growth is anchored by:

  • Centinela Second Concentrator – now in its second year of full construction, designed to materially increase sulphide processing capacity and by‑product output (notably gold and molybdenum). [46]
  • Los Pelambres desalination plant expansion and new concentrate pipeline, both advancing through civil and installation works and aimed at improving water security and logistics resilience. [47]
  • Zaldívar Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) approval earlier in 2025, which allows the mine life to be extended to 2051, securing a significant portion of the group’s long‑term production base. [48]

These projects underpin management’s guidance of +30% medium‑term production growth and help support the company’s premium valuation relative to many diversified miners. [49]

Recent market behaviour: miners riding copper and UK macro news

In the final week of November and into December, Antofagasta has tended to move in step with the broader mining complex and copper price:

  • On 26 November, UK equities rallied after Finance Minister Rachel Reeves’ tax‑raising but market‑soothing budget.
    • The FTSE 100 closed up 0.9%.
    • Industrial miners gained about 1.5%.
    • Antofagasta rose around 2.1%, alongside Anglo American’s 3.2% gain, as copper prices strengthened. [50]
  • On 1 December, London South East’s “FTSE 100 movers” column again listed Antofagasta among the top risers, with the stock up 2.5% intraday to 2,833p, in tandem with metals prices while defence names lagged. [51]

This pattern – outperforming on days when copper is strong and underperforming when macro sentiment sours – is classic high‑beta commodity behaviour and emphasises that the stock is tightly coupled to copper and risk sentiment, even more so now that it trades at elevated multiples.

Key risks investors need to weigh

Even with strong fundamentals, Antofagasta is far from risk‑free. The main risk buckets look something like this:

  1. Copper price volatility
    • Earnings and free cash flow are highly sensitive to copper prices. A move from a $10–11k/t scenario toward the $8k/t bear‑case discussed by Fastmarkets’ panel would significantly dent margins and returns, even with lower net cash costs. [52]
  2. Project execution and capex creep
    • While management insists that Centinela and Los Pelambres projects are on budget and on schedule, large‑scale projects always face risks around cost inflation, delays and technical issues.
    • The shift in 2025 capex guidance from $3.9bn to $3.6bn is presented as FX‑driven deferral, but the true spend and timing will only become clear in 2026. [53]
  3. Chile‑specific regulatory and political risk
    • All of Antofagasta’s operating mines are in Chile, concentrating exposure to that country’s tax, royalty and environmental regimes.
    • While recent years have seen more clarity on mining royalties, longer‑term political shifts could still affect profitability.
  4. Water, climate and environmental constraints
    • Operations such as Los Pelambres are in areas where water management is structurally challenging. The desalination projects are designed to mitigate this, but also increase capital intensity and operating complexity. [54]
  5. Labour and social licence to operate
    • Although multiple three‑year labour agreements were recently concluded, one negotiation remains for 2025, and future bargaining rounds always carry strike risk. [55]
    • The company’s long‑term success also depends on stable community relations and environmental compliance, particularly with more ambitious decarbonisation goals.

Is Antofagasta stock a buy, hold or sell going into 2026?

Framed in general, not personal terms, the investment case as of 2 December 2025 looks like this:

Positives

  • Exceptional recent financial performance, with EBITDA up 60% and margins near 60%, supported by higher production, lower costs and strong by‑product markets. [56]
  • Improving cost profile, with net cash costs lowered to $1.24/lb year‑to‑date and guidance for the full year cut to $1.20–1.30/lb. [57]
  • Medium‑term volume growth of ~30%, backed by fully funded projects already under construction and a mine‑life extension at Zaldívar. [58]
  • Structural copper tailwinds, with major banks and market analysts expecting deficits and base‑case prices around $10,000–$11,000/t in 2026. [59]
  • A strengthening ESG story, including pioneering hydrogen freight locomotives and robust decarbonisation commitments, which may support demand from ESG‑mandated investors. [60]

Cautions

  • The share price is near its all‑time high, with the stock trading above both Deutsche Bank’s raised 2,400p target and the consensus target around 2,630p. [61]
  • Valuation multiples (low‑ to mid‑20s trailing P/E, high‑teens forward P/E, EV/EBITDA around 9–10x) leave less margin of safety if copper prices wobble or projects slip. [62]
  • Short‑term technical indicators flag overbought conditions and the possibility of a pullback after a strong run. [63]
  • Single‑country concentration in Chile and a fully copper‑centric portfolio mean little diversification if sentiment turns against either copper or the Chilean mining regime.

For long‑term, high‑risk‑tolerant investors who are bullish on copper through the rest of the decade, Antofagasta currently represents a high‑quality but not obviously cheap way to gain leveraged exposure to that theme.

EUR/USD Analysis Today 02/12: Euro Trading Higher (Chart)

By |2025-12-02T14:57:10+02:00December 2, 2025|Forex News, News|0 Comments

EUR/USD Analysis Summary Today

  • Overall Trend: : Neutral.
  • Support Levels for EUR/USD Today: 1.1565 – 1.1480 – 1.1400
  • Resistance Levels for EUR/USD Today: : 1.1670 – 1.1740 – 1.1830

EUR/USD Trading Signals:

  • Buy EUR/USD from the support level of 1.1520 with a target of 1.1700 and a stop-loss at 1.1460.
  • Sell EUR/USD from the resistance level of 1.1720 with a target of 1.1500 and a stop-loss at 1.1800.

Technical Analysis of EUR/USD Today:

Based on recent trades, the EUR/USD price has seen stability within a symmetrical triangle pattern over the past few weeks, with trend lines converging by connecting higher lows and lower highs. The currency pair is currently trading around the key psychological level of 1.1600 and appears ready to test the upper boundary of the triangle, which may determine its next direction.

Technically, a break above the resistance trend line at 1.1650 would confirm an upward breakout and could trigger a rally as high as the widest part of the triangle pattern. Concequently, this would put the EUR/USD on track to test higher levels near or beyond 1.1700. However, if the resistance holds, the EUR/USD pair could retrace towards the triangle’s support at the psychological level of 1.1500, where the ascending trend line has provided support since late November. This area also coincides with the 100-period simple moving average, which has acted as dynamic support throughout the period of neutrality.

The 100-period simple moving average (SMA) is currently above the 200-period SMA, suggesting that the stronger trend has shifted to bullish or that an upward breakout is likely to gain momentum. The narrowing gap between the moving averages reflects continued neutrality, although the overall technical structure still favors buyers. Meanwhile, the Stochastic oscillator is hovering near its midpoint after pulling back from overbought territory, indicating that momentum is relatively neutral at present. The oscillator has room to move in either direction, so a break above resistance could push it back to overbought levels, while a rejection could lead to a decline.

At the same time, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is hovering near the 50 level, indicating a balance between bulls and bears. The oscillator’s neutral stance suggests that the direction of the breakout could be decisive once the price breaks out of the triangle’s boundaries.

Trading Tips:

Please be aware that the EUR/USD exchange rate may be affected by upcoming economic data and central bank comments, particularly any shifts in expectations regarding the European Central Bank’s (ECB) policy or the US Federal Reserve’s (Fed) actions, which could impact the dollar.

Factors Affecting EUR/USD Trading Today

Amid attempts to bounce higher, and according to forex currency market trades, the EUR/USD path today, Tuesday, December 2, 2025, will be affected by anticipated remarks from US Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. Economically, it will be influenced by the announcement of the Eurozone Consumer Price Index (CPI) reading, along with the announcement of the bloc’s unemployment rate, which will be released at 12:00 PM Egypt time.

On the front of global central bank policies, expectations suggest that the US Federal Reserve will cut interest rates again on December 17, and several times next year. In contrast, the European Central Bank (ECB) will keep interest rates unchanged for the foreseeable future due to increasing economic recovery and improving inflation dynamics.

Recently, the Harmonized Consumer Price Index (HICP) in Germany saw a notable acceleration in November, rising from 2.3% in October to 2.6% in November (consensus was 2.4%). Meanwhile, the ECB’s October survey showed a slight increase in one-year inflation expectations from 2.7% to 2.8%, reinforcing the view that the ECB is unlikely to cut rates in December. With the ECB having no justification to move, and the US Federal Reserve likely cutting rates in December, the divergence in interest rate policy between the EU and the US is expected to provide a continuous fundamental source for the EUR/USD price to rise.

Cardano Price Prediction Turns Bullish As PepeNode Surges Past

By |2025-12-02T14:45:02+02:00December 2, 2025|Crypto News, News|0 Comments

Cardano Price Prediction

The crypto market is shifting this week because one small but crucial pressure point just eased. CoinTelegraph reports that liquidation fears around MicroStrategy are dropping, which calms the system and gives order books room to breathe. With less panic in the background, the focus flips back to real utility and liquidity. Cardano forecasts start coming from actual setups again instead of emergency playbooks. That is why watchlists are drifting toward testable presales like Pepenode (https://pepenode.io/), while ADA benefits from tighter spreads, deeper books, and more predictable risk during active sessions.

Gamified Mining, Clear Feedback Loops, Cardano Friendly Vibes

Pepenode turns mining into a web app experience, not a hardware grind with rigs and cables. Users interact with virtual miner nodes, upgrades, and leaderboards inside a clean dashboard. The whitepaper outlines how utility should kick in after TGE, with staking and a sense of progress that rewards almost every click. These kinds of feedback loops shine in markets that prefer structure over chaos. That is exactly where ADA sits right now. Spreads are getting cleaner, depth returns during peak sessions, and side risk moves into transparent, trackable mechanics. The real edge is repeatability. Small daily actions keep traders engaged without forcing leverage. For ADA traders, Pepenode becomes a companion project that makes a calm market phase productive, not just noisy. Anyone who reads risk rotation as a pattern will see the logic behind a testable loop like PEPENODE (https://pepenode.io/).

Pepenode Presale Numbers, Why The Timing Lines Up

The Pepenode presale reports more than 2.12 million USD raised, with the token currently priced at 0.0011454 USD. The offer includes 628 % staking rewards, a clear signal that early phase incentives are meant to capture attention and kickstart engagement. Project materials show that the price ladder started at 0.0010 USD. Buy and stake is built directly into the purchase flow, while the core gameplay features unlock with the TGE. In crypto, interpretation beats raw number spam. A fast raise hints at working distribution and a sales funnel that actually converts. The current price, only slightly above the starting level, points to sustained demand without vertical blow-off action. Outlets like Bitcoinist flag growing appetite for high beta stories. That gives presales a tailwind as long as order books hold up during peak hours. For traders who already track ADA closely, this time window is surprisingly aligned. Enter with a plan, put Pepenode on the checklist.

Cardano Setup, Liquidity Signals, And Rotating Risk

Cardano forecasts tend to behave more rationally when the overall market structure looks balanced. In those phases, ADA order books act more disciplined. Spreads tighten during active periods, depth refills quickly after dips, and funding noise stays muted. This environment favors setups that traders can manage step by step instead of lottery style tickets. In that kind of backdrop, side risk often rotates into projects that show visible activity, clear user paths, and measurable progress. PEPENODE (https://pepenode.io/) fits that profile because every node, every facility upgrade, and every mining loop generates instant feedback. It gives users practical reasons to come back. The result is more predictable holding periods and cleaner exit points. For traders who treat ADA as a core position, a presale add-on like PEPENODE offers controlled extra beta without breaking the main thesis. The timing benefits from calm conditions, not from chaos. Keep ADA on the screen, ride along with Pepenode in a size that matches your risk rules.

Making Sense Of Tokenomics And Staking

High headline APYs grab attention, but they almost never describe a permanent yield reality. In early phases they are usually incentive design, a starter pack for network effects, not an endless payout guarantee. The key question is whether rewards support real activity, such as transactions, upgrades, and repeat sessions. Pepenode’s gamified mining answers that operationally, since progress is measurable and socially visible through leaderboards and on chain actions. Serious traders scale into positions gradually. They track conversion through the purchase funnel, churn, and session depth, not only the percentage reward. Discipline around position size, slippage during demand spikes, and a plan for post-TGE liquidity remain essential. If utility carries the story, the loop survives the marketing phase. That is when staking shifts from billboard to useful holding mechanic. Build exposure in stages, test Pepenode instead of going all in on day 1.

Roadmap, Risks, And What Should Stay On The Radar

Presales are never a walk in the park. They demand testing, comparison, and verification. The relevant questions stay the same. Does the team keep the release cadence. How fast does the dashboard scale under real user-load. Will liquidity on major exchanges be solid at launch. Are there clear communication windows for feature drops so users come back instead of logging in only once. Data sources like on-chain activity, funnel conversion, and recurring sessions separate substance from noise. The broader macro picture, with falling liquidation fear as reported by CoinTelegraph, provides a supportive backdrop, but volatility never disappears. Traders who accept that reality plan entries and exits pragmatically, not emotionally.

For market participants who respect ADA as a serious asset, PEPENODE (https://pepenode.io/) remains a tactical candidate as long as utility leads the narrative and order books confirm the move. Stick to the plan, keep Pepenode on the watchlist, and let the data decide whether it deserves more allocation.

Conclusion: Why This Setup Works For Cardano And Pepenode

The current environment benefits Cardano forecasts and well-structured presales at the same time. Systemic pressure is fading, spreads are calmer, and deep liquidity is returning more consistently during busy trading windows. In this kind of market, routine beats spectacle. Pepenode delivers exactly that. A clear mine to earn concept, visible progress steps, direct staking integration, and a dashboard that builds reasons to return. The numbers confirm interest, with more than 2.12 million USD raised in presale, a transparent price ladder, and strong yet clearly early-stage APYs.

For traders who hold ADA as a core position, PEPENODE (https://pepenode.io/) offers a tactical satellite that matches the current risk rotation, as long as team execution, roadmap delivery, and liquidity keep pace. Strict sizing remains non-negotiable, just like ongoing monitoring of on-chain signals and order book quality. That way, real utility carries the story, not only marketing slogans, and Pepenode can become a productive side play in a calmer Cardano market.

Ingredients:

For the dough:

  • 3 cups of flour
  • 1 packet of yeast
  • 6 tablespoons of vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoons cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon of salt
  • 1 egg
  • ¾ cup yogurt (I used low vanilla fat); milk works as well.
  • ¼ coconut sugar

For the filling:

  • 11 pitted dates
  • 3 tablespoons of butter (or plant butter
  • ½ teaspoon of salt (or less)
  • ¼ cup of coconut sugar
  • 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon

Glaze/Topping:

  • ¾ cup of icing (powdered) sugar
  • 1 – 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon of Vanilla extract

Instructions:

  1. Warm up the oil and yogurt; then beat the egg and sugar and add the yeast. Add the sugar mixture to the oil/yogurt mixture.
  2. Add all dry ingredients into the food processor (or stand mixer), start processing at low speed, gently add the wet ingredients as you process, stop after it forms a dough.
  3. Remove the dough and knead a couple of times into a rounded dough. Oil a pan, place the dough and cover tightly with a cling film. Allow rising for an hour to two. You can also leave it overnight. The goal here is for the dough to double in size.
  4. For the filling: Soak dates in hot water early on to soften (this can be prepped the day before). Add dates to the food processor, add the butter, or plant butter, cinnamon, salt, and coconut sugar. Process until smooth; if it seems to dry, add a teaspoon of maple syrup or water to loosen. Finish processing and set aside for use later.
  5. Sprinkle flour on a clean working surface and place rose dough and roll out using a rolling pin. Possibly roll it out in a rectangular form.
  6. Then dump the filling in the middle of the rolled-out dough and gently spread it to reach everywhere except the very ends.
  7. Then roll up, ensuring that fillings are intact and not falling out, then pinch tightly to seal. Gently, use a serrated knife to cut into equal sizes and place on a well-greased baking dish.
  8. Cover tight and place in a warm place for 1 hour to an hour and a half to rise; I typically do an hour. Give the dough enough time to double in size, and do not over proof dough.
  9. Then bake in 375 preheated oven for 25 – 30 minutes, place foil in the 20th minute if you don’t want it too toasty! Also, feel free to bake it for longer if you want it to be toastier.
  10. To make the Glaze or icing: add icing sugar or powdered sugar to a bowl, add vanilla extract and milk. Whisk together until combined.
  11. Pour the glaze on the buns as soon as it comes out of the oven! This way, it melts into every corner of the buns and makes them stickier and gooier. Serve and enjoy with family/friends.

Whisper light and full of Parisian flair Macarons by Tracy Stopler, MS, RD, a registered dietitian, with a Master of Science in Nutrition from New York University, the nutrition director at NUTRITION E.T.C. in Plainview, Long Island, and the head pastry chef at Trace of Sweetness. Tracy has been a nutrition professor at Adelphi University for 28 years. Tracy is also the author of two award-winning novels: The Ropes that Bind and My Brother Javi: A Dogs Tale.

Ingredients:

For the Cookie:

  • 100 g egg whites room temperature (about 3 large eggs)
  • 140 g almond flour (about 1 1/2 cups)
  • 90 g granulated sugar (just under 1/2 cup)
  • 130 g powdered sugar (about 1 cup)
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1/4 tsp cream of tartar

For the Buttercream:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 5 egg yolks
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 3 tbsp water
  • 1 pinch salt

Instructions:

For the Macarons:

  1. Sift the confectioners’ sugar and almond flour into a bowl.
  2. Add the room temperature egg whites into a very clean bowl.
  3. Using an electric mixer, whisk egg whites. Once they begin to foam add the cream of tartar and then SLOWLY add the granulated sugar.
  4. Add the food coloring and vanilla then mix in. Continue to beat until stiff peaks form.
  5. Begin folding in 1/3 of the dry ingredients.
  6. Be careful to add the remaining dry ingredients and fold gently.
  7. The final mixture should look like flowing lava and be able to fall into a figure eight without breaking. Spoon into a piping bag with a medium round piping tip and you’re ready to start piping.
  8. Place your snowman or Santa templates onto a baking sheet and cover with parchment paper. After piping over the figures, tap the baking sheet on the counter several times to release air bubbles. Allow to sit for 30-40 minutes until the shells are no longer sticky before placing in the oven.
  9. Bake at 300F for 12-15 minutes, rotate the tray after 7 minutes. Note that every oven is different. Allow to cool completely before removing from the baking sheet.

Filling:

Place your favorite preference (peanut butter, Nutella or fruit fillings) into a piping bag.

For Assembly:

  1. Pipe your filling onto the back of half the shells. Form a sandwich and repeat. Macarons should be aged in the fridge for 1-3 days for best results. This allows the filling to soften the shells inside.

Notes:

  • THE MERINGUE!!!! That meringue HAS TO BE STIFF! This could take up to 15-20 minutes on medium speed.
  • Sift, Sift, SIFT! Discard the larger pieces of almond particles. Do not press them through the sieve.
  • Use a scale if possible, accuracy helps with this recipe.
  • The mixing will take some practice, you will fold and fold the batter and then use the spatula to GENTLY press the batter against the bowl. Continue this until it reaches a thick “lava” consistency. It should slowly fall off the spatula in ribbons and be able to form a figure eight without breaking.
  • When you are finishing the piping motion stop squeezing the bag and pull up with a circular motion.
  • The macarons will be best after 2-3 days resting in the fridge.

Platinum price gathers some gains– Forecast today – 2-12-2025

By |2025-12-02T13:24:28+02:00December 2, 2025|Forex News, News|0 Comments


Platinum price ended the positive attack by hitting $1725.00 level, to form extra barriers to force it to activate the attempts of gathering gains by reaching $1632.00.

 

Forming extra support at $1605.00 level by stochastic fluctuation near 80 level makes us expect renewing the bullish attempts, to repeat the pressure on $1695.00 level, then attempts to reach the next main target at $ 1745.00, while its decline below $1605.00 and providing negative close will increase the efficiency of the bearish corrective track, to expect reaching $1575.00 before any attempt to reach the suggested extra targets.

 

The expected trading range for today is between $1610.00 and $1710.00

 

Trend forecast: Bullish

Solana Price Prediction: SOL Battles to Hold $130 as Liquidity Clusters, Wedge Patterns, and Market Structure Signal a Potential Move Towards $150–$165

By |2025-12-02T12:44:06+02:00December 2, 2025|Crypto News, News|0 Comments

Solana price is holding a crucial support zone near $133, creating a pivotal setup as liquidity clusters and wedge patterns hint at a potential move towards the $150–$165 range.

Solana price is back at a critical support region, with price reacting around the $130 zone as participants evaluate whether this level can stabilize the recent pullback. Momentum across the market remains mixed, but Solana continues to show pockets of strength on several high-timeframe structures, keeping the bullish case alive if demand holds.

Current readings from BraveNewCoin list Solana’s price near $130, placing SOL slightly below mid-range levels but still above major weekly support. This area has repeatedly acted as a decision point for trend continuation, and the market’s next move from here will likely determine whether SOL begins rotating back towards $150 or revisits lower liquidity pockets first.

Liquidity Clusters Reveal Heavy Interest Around $130–$150

Liquidity data shared by TedPillows highlights a dense buildup of resting orders between $130 and $150, with a particularly notable cluster around the $130 handle. Historically, these liquidity shelves act as magnets, price often taps them before trending into the next region.

Ted noted that “the max pain remains to the upside,” implying that if Solana holds this area even briefly, market makers may drive price upward to hunt the thicker liquidity bands sitting above. The heatmap supports this idea, showing a well-defined vacuum from $145 to $165 where liquidity is lighter, making impulsive moves easier if momentum returns.

Solana Watching $133 as Key Support

Crypto Tony shows Solana price forming a potential basing pattern at support. The $132 zone has become the key battleground; reclaiming this area could trigger a push towards the major horizontal resistance around $145 to $150.

Tony’s chart highlights higher-low attempts forming beneath the range, suggesting buyers may be preparing a reaction if the current support stabilizes. The pattern resembles the early stages of an inverse structure, one that typically requires a strong breakout above neckline resistance before momentum truly shifts.

If $133 fails decisively, however, Tony warns that price may rotate back into untested areas closer to the late-November swing lows.

Sentiment Leans Bullish as Traders Flag Undervaluation Zones

Short-form commentary by CryptoCurb, who closely tracks valuation trends, called SOL “massively undervalued” while referencing historical relationship metrics. While sentiment alone isn’t a catalyst, it reinforces the idea that market watchers still expect SOL to outperform as long as the higher-timeframe trend remains intact.

Similarly, IntoTheCryptoverse showcased Solana’s BTC pair, which still trades in a broad consolidation band. Historically, strong expansions in SOL/BTC valuation precede USD rallies, if this relationship firms up again, USD price targets between $150 and $165 become increasingly realistic.

Pattern-Based Targets Strengthen the Upside Case

A separate technical view from JamesEastonUK offered a structured roadmap for the coming days. He outlined a clean support-to-resistance rotation, where holding the current S/R flip would allow SOL to reclaim short-term levels and challenge $150 next.

James also noted that failure to defend this region could send price back towards recent swing lows, reinforcing the need for buyers to step in at the current zone to maintain bullish structure.

When combined with broader liquidity mapping and wedge compression, the confluence increases the likelihood of a recovery move if demand stabilizes.

Solana Price Outlook

If Solana holds the $130 region and momentum rotates upward, a move towards $145 to $150 appears increasingly achievable. A confirmed breakout above $150 would open the door towards $158 to $165, where major liquidity pockets thin out and price historically accelerates.

On a more aggressive trajectory, particularly if liquidity clusters behave as expected, SOL could even begin forming the early stages of a return to its 2021–2022 expansion zones.

Failure to hold $133, however, puts the focus back on $128 and $121, both of which have acted as important bounce regions. Losing these levels would indicate a deeper corrective swing.

Final Thoughts

Solana’s current setup reflects a market at a crossroads. Liquidity maps show heavy clusters below and pockets of opportunity above, creating conditions where volatility can rapidly expand once a direction is chosen.

If bulls can stabilize the $133 region, the path towards $150 to $165 becomes a clear technical target, supported by wedge structure, liquidity distribution, and improving sentiment. But if support falters, traders should prepare for another retest of deeper zones before any larger recovery takes shape.

XAG/USD Holds Near $57 After Record Highs – Outlook, Forecasts and Key Levels

By |2025-12-02T11:23:04+02:00December 2, 2025|Forex News, News|0 Comments


Silver prices remain elevated on Tuesday, 2 December 2025, consolidating just below fresh record highs set at the start of the week as traders weigh almost-certain Federal Reserve rate cuts, a weaker US dollar and deep structural supply tightness.

Global Silver Price Today (XAG/USD) – 2 December 2025

Spot silver is still trading in rarefied air.

  • Spot price: Most major feeds show XAG/USD around $57.2–$57.4 per ounce on Tuesday, modestly lower on the session but only a step down from Monday’s all‑time highs. Data from USAGOLD and Barchart both place spot silver near $57.2–$57.3 in early US trading. [1]
  • Intraday range: Intraday data from Twelve Data show Monday’s breakout extending into an early spike above $58, with today’s trade oscillating roughly between the high-$56s and low-$58s before settling back near $57.2. [2]
  • Versus Monday: TradingEconomics and other macro dashboards note silver easing to roughly $57.29 today, down about 1–1.5% from Monday’s close but still up around 19% over the past month and roughly 85% year‑on‑year. [3]
  • 52‑week / all‑time high: Barchart’s forex overview shows a 52‑week – and effectively all‑time – high around $58.8 per ounce, reached on 1 December 2025. [4]

Put simply: today’s pullback is a dip, not a collapse. Silver remains within a couple of dollars of fresh records after one of the steepest rallies in its modern history.

Silver Rate in India Today – Prices Near ₹2 Lakh per Kg

Indian buyers are feeling the global surge amplified by a softer rupee.

Physical silver prices

  • Retail rates: The Indian Express and other local trackers peg silver at about ₹188 per gram – roughly ₹1,88,000 per kg – in key cities like Delhi, Mumbai and Kolkata on 2 December 2025, with some southern cities such as Chennai and Hyderabad closer to ₹1,96,000 per kg. [5]
  • Regional variations: Malayalam outlet Mathrubhumi reports similar levels, with standard 999 silver quoted around ₹1.8–1.9 lakh per kg across major centres, reflecting only a mild day‑on‑day cooling from Monday’s spike. [6]
  • Short‑term trend: Brokerage 5Paisa notes that ₹188 per gram keeps domestic silver near the top of its recent trading band, underlining how aggressively prices have repriced over the past few weeks. [7]

Futures and performance

  • MCX silver: On the futures side, Livemint reports MCX silver opening around ₹1,80,701 per kg, down roughly 0.7% after Monday’s surge, mirroring the small pullback in international markets. [8]
  • YTD move: The same analysis highlights that silver has more than doubled in 2025 in rupee terms, while gold is “only” up about 65% – an outperformance driven by both the global rally and a record‑weak rupee. [9]

For Indian households, that means jewellery, coins and bars are all dramatically more expensive than a year ago, and any “buy on dips” mindset is happening at price levels that would have looked outlandish as recently as 2023.

Why Is Silver So High? The Three Big Drivers

1. Fed pivot and a weaker dollar

The macro backdrop has flipped firmly in silver’s favour.

  • FXEmpire notes that Fed rate‑cut odds for December have jumped to about 87%, up from around 70% just days earlier, after a run of softer US data and more dovish central‑bank commentary. [10]
  • The Times of India and other outlets put the probability of a December cut near 88%, with markets also expecting further easing into 2026. [11]
  • Barchart’s dollar commentary shows the US dollar index sliding to multi‑week lows as rate expectations shift, historically a strong tailwind for dollar‑priced metals like silver. [12]

Lower real yields and a softening dollar reduce the opportunity cost of holding non‑yielding assets, making silver more attractive both as a hedge and as a speculative play.

2. Deep structural supply deficits and industrial demand

Silver’s story is no longer just about safe‑haven flows.

Analysis from EBC Financial Group, drawing on Silver Institute and LSEG data, highlights that: [13]

  • Industrial demand hit a record ~680 million ounces in 2024, the fourth consecutive record year, driven by electronics, 5G, EVs and especially solar.
  • The market has registered four straight years of deficits, with a structural shortfall of around 150 million ounces in 2024 and a cumulative deficit of nearly 680 million ounces between 2021 and 2024.
  • Solar alone accounted for roughly 240 million ounces in 2024, and could add another ~150 million ounces of yearly demand by 2030, according to LSEG‑based projections.

At the same time, mine supply is constrained because most silver is produced as a by‑product of other metals. EBC cites projections that global output could edge down from roughly 944 million ounces in 2025 to around 900 million by 2030 as some mines close or grade quality declines. [14]

That combination – record demand and slow supply growth – underpins the sense that this rally is more than pure speculation.

3. Inventory tightness, “critical mineral” status and market plumbing

The physical market looks increasingly tight:

  • EBC notes that inventories in Shanghai Futures Exchange warehouses have dropped to their lowest since 2015, while visible stock on the Shanghai Gold Exchange is also thin – a sign that on‑exchange metal is being drawn down. [15]
  • London experienced a sharp supply squeeze in October, reportedly forcing tens of millions of ounces to be flown in from other hubs. [16]
  • Around 75 million ounces have left COMEX vaults since early October, as traders reposition metal globally amid worries over potential premiums or policy changes, according to the same analysis. [17]
  • The metal was added to the US Geological Survey’s “critical minerals” list in November 2025, raising the possibility of future trade, tariff or stockpiling distortions that could tighten supply further. [18]

On top of that, a high‑profile CME/COMEX outage on 28 November disrupted futures trading across asset classes; when markets reopened, silver “ripped through” prior highs, helping propel prices into the mid‑$50s. [19]

All of this has fed a narrative of “not enough metal in the right place at the right time”, which tends to magnify price moves once speculative money piles in.

What Analysts Are Saying Today (2 December 2025)

Several fresh takes hit the wires over the past 24 hours. Here’s how forecasters are framing the move.

Short‑term trading views

  • DailyForex (today): A morning wrap describes silver as having “led precious metals higher” and hit a new record high near $58 on Monday, but warns that the breakout comes on high volatility and suggests position sizes should be smaller than usual. Day traders are encouraged to treat intraday pullbacks and rebounds with extra caution. [20]
  • FXEmpire (yesterday, setting up this week): Silver is seen consolidating just below $57.85 after an “extended bullish run”. The first major support band lies around $55.99–$56.00, with the bias toward a retest of about $59.09 if that zone holds. [21]

Aggressive upside calls

  • Economic Times / Peter McGuire (today): In an interview with ET Now, Peter McGuire, CEO of Australia‑Trading.com, calls December a “tear‑away month” for metals and plants “a flag in the sand” for silver at $60 per ounce this month. He points to silver being up around 90% year‑to‑date, tight supply and a Fed rate‑cut probability that has jumped from about 20% to nearly 90% in just ten days. [22]

More measured, but still bullish, scenarios

  • Times of India / Mirae Asset (today): Analyst Praveen Singh highlights that spot silver recently traded near $58.28, up over 3% on the day, after a week‑long rally of nearly 13%. He flags plunging Chinese inventories and notes the gold–silver ratio dropping below a long‑term support around 73.25, suggesting more room for silver outperformance. Singh’s base case: silver could extend toward $62–$65 in the coming weeks or months, with buy‑the‑dip strategies preferred and $54 cited as a key stop‑loss level. [23]
  • FXStreet (yesterday): A technical note from FXStreet says silver has rallied about 15% in six trading days, marking fresh record highs around $57.9, powered by Fed‑cut hopes and mild risk aversion. It flags overbought Relative Strength Index (RSI) readings and sets immediate resistance at $58 and then the psychological $60, with support near $56.45 and then prior highs around $54.45. [24]
  • EBC mid‑term map (Dec 1): EBC’s deep‑dive emphasizes the mid‑$50s as the new “battlefield” zone. Its technical map highlights:
    • $57.5–58.0 – immediate resistance / new high band
    • $56–56.5 – breakout area and first reference support
    • $55–54 – first “strong” support zone
    • $50–50.7 – major breakout base and key line in the sand for longer‑term bulls [25]

In other words, most professional commentary remains constructive, but almost all of it comes with the same caveat: the market is stretched, and corrections of several dollars can happen quickly.

Technical Picture: Key Levels to Watch

Even if you’re not a chart‑junkie, it helps to know where the big lines are drawn.

Overbought, but still a strong uptrend

  • Barchart’s technical “Opinion” on XAG/USD currently shows a 100% “Strong Buy” rating, with RSI above 70, signalling a strong but overbought trend where a reversal can come suddenly. [26]
  • EBC and FXStreet both stress that daily and 4‑hour RSIs have pushed deep into the overbought zone, raising the odds of “air pockets” – sharp, fast drawdowns within a still‑bullish larger trend. [27]

Key resistance zones

Pulling together Barchart, FXStreet, FXEmpire and EBC, the market is broadly focused on:

  • $58–59: Immediate resistance / recent record‑high band (spot highs between ~$57.9 and $58.8). [28]
  • $60: Major psychological barrier and next upside target in multiple forecasts. [29]
  • Low‑$60s (~$62–$65): Extension zone flagged by both EBC and Times of India as plausible if the uptrend persists and risk appetite stays firm. [30]

Support zones

On the downside, traders are watching:

  • $56–56.5: First important intraday support band and breakout area, highlighted by FXEmpire and EBC. [31]
  • $55–54: “Normal pullback” zone after the recent spike; EBC and TOI both see this area as a healthy reset rather than a trend break. [32]
  • Around $50: The big structural line. EBC’s analysis treats the $50–50.7 region as the major base of this entire breakout; as long as price holds above it, the long‑term bull case remains intact. [33]

For silver futures on COMEX, Barchart quotes December 2025 contracts (SIZ25) around $57.15, with computed pivot levels showing: [34]

  • First resistance near $59.2, then $60.0–61.6
  • First support around $56.9, then $55.3–54.5

These numbers line up neatly with the spot‑market levels analysts are discussing.

Is This a Bubble or a New Regime? The Risk Checklist

Even bulls are clear that the current phase is high‑risk, high‑volatility. Key downside triggers to watch:

  1. Stronger‑than‑expected US data
    • FXEmpire notes that an upside surprise in key releases such as ISM manufacturing could lift the dollar and pressure metals, at least in the short term. [35]
  2. A less‑dovish Fed than markets expect
    • If the Fed cuts less than priced or signals a slower easing path, real yields could back up again, undercutting part of silver’s macro support.
  3. Macro slowdown hitting industrial demand
    • While supply is tight, silver is also a cyclical industrial metal. Persistent weakness in China and global manufacturing PMIs – highlighted in recent gold/silver outlooks – could cool demand for electronics and solar, blunting the bull case. [36]
  4. Positioning and sentiment
    • CFTC data (summarised by Barchart) show sizeable speculative long positions in silver futures; in such conditions, any negative surprise can produce a “rush for the exit” and outsized short‑term drops. [37]

In short: the fundamental backdrop is strong, but the tape is extended. That combination can deliver both spectacular gains and brutal shake‑outs.

What Today’s Move Means for Different Types of Investors

None of this is personalised advice, but analysts are broadly offering the following playbooks.

1. Short‑term traders

  • Treat silver as a momentum market in overdrive.
  • Several desks advocate reduced position sizes, wider stops and a willingness to step aside entirely if volatility spikes. [38]
  • For intraday strategies, the $56–56.5 support and $58–60 resistance bands are likely to be the key battleground zones over the coming sessions.

2. Medium‑term swing traders

  • Times of India and EBC both lean toward a “buy‑on‑dips” bias as long as pullbacks hold above the mid‑$50s and certainly above the $50–51 base. [39]
  • Common themes:
    • Consider scaling in rather than all‑in at once.
    • Use $54–55 as a rough line where the current leg of the rally would start to look tired.
    • Watch Fed communication and key macro data like ISM, jobs numbers and inflation prints very closely.

3. Long‑term investors and “stackers”

  • EBC and USAGOLD both frame the breakout as part of a longer shift toward structurally tighter precious‑metals markets, supported by central‑bank buying (for gold), chronic deficits (for silver) and industrial electrification. [40]
  • At the same time, Livemint relays broker guidance that precious metals should generally remain around 10% or less of a diversified portfolio, and stresses that silver’s volatility makes it suitable only for investors with high risk tolerance and long horizons. [41]
  • For these investors, the focus tends to be on position sizing and time horizon, not trying to catch exact tops or bottoms.

4. Indian household investors

  • Domestic silver has raced toward ₹1.8–2 lakh per kg, and the rupee’s weakness means local prices can stay sticky even if dollar prices pull back. [42]
  • Analysts repeatedly recommend staggered buying (SIP‑style) rather than lump‑sum bets, and emphasise that gold remains the more stable “core” holding, with silver as a high‑beta satellite exposure. [43]

Bottom Line

  • Today, 2 December 2025, silver is consolidating just above $57 per ounce, only a short step down from fresh record highs near $58 hit at the start of the week. [44]
  • The rally rests on a powerful mix of Fed‑cut expectations, a weaker dollar, multi‑year supply deficits, record industrial demand and visible inventory tightness. [45]
  • Forecasts for the next few weeks cluster around a volatile range between the mid‑$50s and low‑$60s, with upside targets at $60–65 and key support around $55–54 and then the $50 breakout base. [46]
  • Almost every major analyst, though, adds the same warning: this is a market to respect, not to chase blindly.

If you’re following silver today, the message is clear: the bull market is intact, but the easy part of the move may already be behind us.
