SMM4, March 3: the United States after the March quarterly survey of non-farm payrolls (10,000) pre-value: 27.3 expected:-10 announced:-70.1 revised: 27.5 (previous value)

Us unemployment rate before March: 3.5% expected: 3.8% published: 4.4%

The number of non-farm payrolls hit the lowest level since March 2009 after the March quarterly survey, and the unemployment rate rose to 4.4% in March, the highest level since August 2017.

On the US index futures side, after the release of the data, U. S. stock index futures fell, Dow Index futures fell 1.16%, S & P 500 Index futures fell 1.01%, and Na Index futures fell 0.84%.

On precious metals, international gold rose US $3.49 in the short term after the release of non-agricultural data, while international silver did not change much.

The dollar index rose more than 20:00 in the short term and is now up 0.65% at 100.77.

 

The Labor Department said employment in the health care and social assistance, professional and business services, retail and construction sectors fell in March. Over the past two months, an average of 245000 new non-farm payrolls have been created.

Initial claims for unemployment benefits in the US surged to a record high of 6.65 million last week as the epidemic restricted people from going out. The number of ADP jobs in the United States, previously known as small non-farmers, fell by 27000, far less than the market had expected to fall by 150000, and there was a high correlation between non-agriculture and ADP.

Ghana draft bill proposes state special share and shorter mining leases
[SMM Gold Flash] A draft mining bill reviewed by Reuters on 30 September would let Ghana’s mines minister require companies to issue the state a free special share with consent rights over major transactions. It would retain the existing 10% free-carried state interest and limit mining leases to 15 years or the projected mine life, whichever is shorter. The draft would also allow future rules requiring local processing and restricting exports of unprocessed concentrates. None of these proposals has been enacted; Reuters did not establish when the draft was prepared. For Ghana’s gold miners, the proposed rights and shorter leases could affect financing, valuations and renewal decisions. Under the draft, existing rights holders seeking renewal would receive priority consideration for equivalent licences. Mining companies expect further consultation before parliamentary debate, Reuters reported. The final wording and timing remain uncertain.

PGMs: Independent tests advance platinum and palladium battery technology
[SMM PGM Flash] Platinum Group Metals said on 1 October that independent testing by the Battery Innovation Center had validated its Lion Battery subsidiary’s platinum- and palladium-based electrodes in prototype lithium-sulphur cells. Compared with cells without the catalysts, the prototypes showed better capacity and rate capability, with palladium-rich formulations performing best overall. Platinum Group and Valterra Platinum, which own Lion 52% and 48% respectively, have approved funding for the next phase. The result offers a possible new use for PGMs beyond vehicle exhaust catalysts, but remains a prototype milestone. Lion plans to make and test pouch cells, refine the catalysts and assess applications including drones. Commercial performance and demand for significant PGM volumes have yet to be established. The work is relevant to Southern African suppliers: Valterra produces PGMs in South Africa and Zimbabwe, while Platinum Group is developing South Africa’s Waterberg project.

Sibanye reaches East Boulder wage agreement; separate US strike continues
[SMM PGM Flash] Sibanye-Stillwater announced on 30 September that workers at its East Boulder platinum and palladium mine in Montana had ratified a collective agreement with the United Steelworkers. The deal runs retroactively from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2029, with a 4.5% wage increase in year one, the greater of 3.5% or CPI in year two and the greater of 3.0% or CPI in year three. Strike action at the separate Stillwater East mine and Columbus metallurgical facility continues, the company said. The East Boulder settlement fixes part of the labour-cost path for Sibanye’s US PGM business and supports its planned shift towards more mechanised mining and team-based incentives. It does not resolve the other strike or demonstrate a recovery in output; the company disclosed no revised production guidance in this release.
