DOW kept moving up, QQQ’s kept moving up, even gold kept moving up with silver stalled. The shares were stopped dead in their tracks for hours.

We’re got thrown a bone that probably should have been sold.

It doesn’t get much sicker

Yeah interesting but not funny. Rice planting will start in June the beginning of the monsoon season for rice. Making use of all that rain. If they need it and don’t get it a lot of people are going to starve unless China can capitalize off it if they grow it, for a cost I’m sure the poor might not be able to afford. India is just one farming area and one component of fertilizer globally but a big one with a large population. I hope they are preparing just in case.

It’s used in a lot of things and widely in farming. China has halted exports.  Whether is was because of the closing of the strait or another reason I don’t know but it’s gonna make things worse probably showing by the end of the year if farmers don’t get it.

Sulfuric acid is a vital component in farming, primarily used to manufacture phosphate-based fertilizers. Over 80% of global production is consumed in this sector, where it converts raw phosphate rock into plant-accessible nutrients like superphosphate and ammonium phosphate.

Key Agricultural Uses
  • Fertilizer Production: Reacts with phosphate rock to produce phosphoric acid, which is essential for monoammonium phosphate (MAP) and diammonium phosphate (DAP) manufacturing.
  • Soil pH Management: Used to reduce soil alkalinity, allowing plants to better absorb nutrients.
  • Organic Manure Processing: Approved by the USDA as a processing aid for regulating the pH of dehydrated or liquid manure.
  • Drip Irrigation Maintenance: Applied to dissolve mineral scale and clear clogged drip lines in irrigation systems.
    USDA Agricultural Marketing Service (.gov) +4
Economic Challenges
  • Supply Vulnerability: Most sulfur used to make sulfuric acid is a byproduct of fossil fuel processing. The push for net-zero emissions has sparked concerns about an impending global supply deficit.
  • Cost Constraints: A potential shortfall could raise fertilizer production costs and make food production more expensive globally.
    The Conversation
For more information on the environmental and agricultural impacts, review the Trammo Sulfur and Sulfuric Acid report or the analysis on fertilizer cost efficiency from ChemCopilot.

Shares are sold at the open, any momentum crushed, making it difficult to re-establish. We are back to where we were for 14 years, exact same action.

🏦🥇 The freezing of Russian reserves in 2022 changed the central banking world forever.

Before the 🇷🇺 invasion of Ukraine, central banks had already returned as consistent gold buyers:
♨️ From 2010 to early 2022, quarterly purchases averaged 118 tonnes.

⚠️ But once sanctions weaponized FX reserves?

Average quarterly gold purchases surged to 255 tonnes, which is more than double the pre-invasion pace. 🆙

Perhaps, even more striking, every single quarter since the invasion has recorded net purchases ABOVE the pre-2022 average. Not one exception. 💯

📍 A clear line in the sand emerged as central banks increasingly realized that sovereign reserves held in foreign currencies are not necessarily politically neutral assets.

As a result:
⚙️ Gold has re-emerged as strategic monetary collateral
🛡️ Reserve diversification has accelerated
⚖️ Monetary sovereignty has become a priority again

This is not merely a cyclical increase in demand. Definitely, a structural re-monetization of gold is unfolding in real time. ♟️

Hong Kong #Gold clearing system will come online by July

Hong Kong is planning to launch a new government-backed gold-clearing system by July, according to people familiar with the matter, as part of its push to become a global bullion trading hub

The system will mirror London’s clearing infrastructure and support unallocated gold accounts, allowing faster and more scalable settlement without requiring ownership of specific bars

If you are anti-allofthem because of the languages they speak, then you are truly anti-semitic, but you are pretty weird person. Wouldn’t it be anti- semantic.   LOL

I don’t know anything about the use of sulfuric acid and farming. From what I hear it’s used extensively in mining-smelting.

“Headline” Maybe it should. Israel sure put up a lot of money to defeat Massie in that race!

It’s what happens when words get bastardised so much that they become meaningless.

If you’re anti-jews, say so. Or anti-zionist. Or anti-Israel. Anti-Maltese. Anti-arabs. Anti-Ethiopians (most of them, anyway). If you are anti-allofthem because of the languages they speak, then you are truly anti-semitic, but you are pretty weird person.

Farsi is not a semitic language, it is Indo-European even though a significant portion of the vocabulary is Arabic.

I guess that would kind of be like calling Israel a “Jewish state”, when it is actually a political state where some Jews, Sabbatean Frankists, and atheists live.

Sulfuric acid is such a corrosive substance I don’t know enough about Petro and other things but at least in farming why they don’t replace it with safer alternatives like citrus or vinegar acids if the soil is too alkaline.

According to this report, the rise in sulphuric acid prices has added between 15c/lb and 50c/lb to the cash cost of producing copper via heap leach operations in Chile.

(Fwiw, around 20% of copper production in Chile requires H2SO4)
