UAVs do not need a crew on-board for flight, and can be autonomous or remotely-controlled by human personnel from a safe distance. A recent industry report on Military Drones said that: “Aside from ISR, UAVs are also employed for offenses. UAVs as big as a small aircraft have the capacity to carry missiles into the battlefield, while autonomous UAVs, also called drones, which can be the size of a wingspan of a bird, are used for kamikaze warfare. Such capabilities make drones a must-have for any military, allowing for major push-back to the enemy from the safety of the ground stations. For instance, in April 2023, Ukraine announced that it had procured over 300 DJI Mavic 3T UAVs and send on the front lines. The thermal and zoom capabilities of these UAVs make them ideal to gather intelligence on ground zero.” Military Drones added that: “By Product Type: Fixed Wing Segment to Hold Major Share Owing to its Increasing Use for Long Distance Operations - By product type, the market is classified into rotary wing, fixed wing, and hybrid wing.  The fixed wing segment held the highest share of the military drone market in 2023 and is expected to continue its dominance during the projected period. Compared to VTOL UAVs, fixed-wing aircraft are able to carry heavier loads for longer flight times while using less power. This implies they are best suited for missions, including mapping, strategic defense, defense, and surveillance, which require high durability. Various military authorities globally use it to great effect in the defense industry. All these factors drive the segment growth during the projected period.”   Active Tech Companies in the markets today include ZenaTech, Inc. (NASDAQZENA), AgEagle Aerial Systems Inc.

This is driven by the Federal Reserve's monetary policy, interest rates, and global demand for safe-haven assets. Some experts predict that gold will trade in the range of $2,800-$3,200 in 2025, reflecting expectations of a Federal Reserve rate cut. The report said: “In the long term, the gold price prediction is influenced by factors such as inflation, central bank policies, and global economic trends. Analysts predict that the price of gold could reach $6,800 an ounce by 2040, estimating a rate of return of 7.2% per year. The increasing demand for gold as a safe-haven asset and the potential for a global recession are also driving factors behind the positive gold price prediction. Gold prices have been on a steady rise since 2023, with many analysts predicting a continued upward trend in 2024. According to J.P. Morgan Research, gold prices are expected to climb to $2,500/oz by the end of 2024, driven by factors such as U.S. fiscal deficit concerns, central bank reserve diversification into gold, inflationary hedging, and a fraying geopolitical landscape. This prediction is in line with other analysts' predictions, with some predicting even higher prices, such as AG Thorson's target of $3,000.” Active mining companies in the markets this week include RUA GOLD Inc.

PALM BEACH, Fla., Sept. 20, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FN Media Group News Commentary - Breast cancer is an illness in which the breast cells get uncontrollably large. The type of breast cancer depends on which cells in the breast become cancerous. Cancer cells removed during the biopsy are examined to check the presence of progesterone or estrogen receptor proteins. The hormones, i.e. estrogen and progesterone, encourage cancer growth when they bind to these receptors. If these receptors are present, cancers are classified as hormone receptor-positive or hormone receptor-negative (proteins). Breast cancer develops due to reasons, such as BRCA gene mutation and PIK3CA gene mutation etc. Ducts and lobules are the major components of a breast, and everything is held together by the connective tissue which surrounds it. Breast cancer develops where the ducts or lobules are located, and it can spread to other body parts via blood and lymph arteries. Breast cancer is metastasized when it spreads to other body regions. Advanced breast cancer is another word for metastatic breast cancer. Advanced breast cancer is defined in medical terms as breast cancer that has gone beyond the breast to other essential organs in the body, such as the bones, lungs, liver, or brain, to mention a few. Metastatic breast cancer usually develops months or years after a person has finished treatment for an early or locally advanced variety of breast cancer, such as stage I, II, or III. As a result, metastatic breast cancer is also known as distant recurrence. A report from Strategic Market Research predicted that the global metastatic breast cancer treatment market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 10.4% to reach $41.74 billion by 2030 during the period 2021-2030. The report said: “The most commonly prescribed treatments for metastatic breast cancer are chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Both of these treatments help to slow tumor growth. On the other hand, hormone therapy is the most successful treatment since it helps to limit the growth of cancer cells. The metastatic breast cancer treatment market trends like the introduction of more advanced technologies and rising demand for metastatic breast cancer therapies are some of the primary drivers driving the global market's growth.”   Active biotech and pharma companies in the markets this week include Oncolytics Biotech® Inc.

PALM BEACH, Fla., July 29, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FinancialNewsMedia.com News Commentary - The refining of sulfide nickel deposits usually requires a smelting capacity not present today in North America. It is controlled by China. Smelting is an environmentally harmful process worse than C02 that can cause environmental damage (water, air). Tailings from sulphide minerals in mining waste have the potential to create acid. China Controls 68-80% of nickel refining smelting, and controls 84% of the Indonesia Nickel Market. A report from the Brookings Institute said that: “Even if the U.S. and EU were to dig more minerals out of the ground, many of these minerals would need to be shipped overseas for concentrating, refining, and smelting without significant increases in U.S. and European mineral refining and smelting capacity. The U.S., in particular, will likely have to update and amend its mining regulatory regime. Governments will also have to onshore or “friend-shore” smelting and refining capacity. The midstream part of the equation is likely to be the most challenging, complicated by high investment costs and market conditions.” Active Companies mentioned in the article include: First Atlantic Nickel Corp.
