            <description><![CDATA[Nearly a third of India's coal-fired power plants are operating with critically low fuel stocks despite government efforts to boost supplies, as an extended spell of hot weather keeps electricity demand elevated, government data showed.

India's peak power demand, a measure of the maximum electricity requirement, has been hovering near the record 270.70 GW touched in May.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[LONDON – Global oil supply and demand will fall further than previously thought this year, the International Energy Agency said on Friday, as a lack of progress in ending the Iran war delays the return of normal Middle East flows into 2027 and sends fuel prices soaring. An increase in attacks on oil tankers in Middle East shipping routes has helped send crude prices towards $110 a barrel this week for the first time since May. But this hike is overshadowed by the surging price of fuels such as diesel, which have hit record highs.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Mineral processing equipment specialist Metso has launched a breakthrough innovation in coarse particle flotation, Sampo Cell, that enhances recovery of coarse particles without compromising fine particle recovery, helping mining companies improve the efficiency, profitability, and sustainability of their operations. 

“Mining companies are under increasing pressure to process more complex ores, improve recovery and reduce their environmental footprint. The Sampo Cell represents a significant leap forward in flotation technology. By expanding the recoverable particle size range and simplifying coarse particle flotation, customers can unlock additional value from existing operations,” says Metso separation senior VP Teemu Kaarniemi. ]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Some of the world’s biggest money managers have rebuilt their gold holdings after prices dropped, betting that long-term drivers of the precious metal will endure even as the US Federal Reserve takes a more assertive stance on inflation.

Amundi SA, Europe’s largest asset manager, bought bullion on the expectation it will return to $5 000/oz by year-end. Fund managers at Pictet Asset Management, Robeco Institutional Asset Management and Fidelity International also added to holdings cut earlier this year, during bullion’s retreat from an all-time high.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Chinese makers of batteries for electric vehicles are demanding steeper discounts for cobalt, which could further cut into margins at Indonesian nickel producers squeezed by rising costs of ore and sulphur, three sources familiar with the matter said.

Traders have mainly borne the impact of discounts until now, but pressure is likely to spread to Indonesian nickel high-pressure acid leach (HPAL) operators when fourth-quarter supply deals are negotiated, two of the sources, both producers, said.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Some Chinese rare earth suppliers are declining to ship to the US for fear of repercussions from Beijing, three sources said, underscoring how access to the materials remains an issue for the US weeks before President Xi Jinping visits Washington.

US officials have repeatedly asked China to stick to commitments made in Busan and Beijing over the past year to ensure the smooth flow of rare earth export licences. The persistence of the problem has put it on the US planning agenda ahead of Xi's September 24 visit, a source familiar with the work said.]]></description>
