 There seems to be a recovery taking place in the United States as recovery still continues amongst the larger companies as profits are up, in key areas of the market. 

Europe struggles on as they are nearer to the war in Ukraine. How ever they are mostly showing a strong resolve to become power resource independent and at the same time boosting their clean air comitments!

The war in Ukraine is so obviously a fight between right  and wrong, that no one is in doubt that the Ukranians are being bullied to give up their freedoms and independence that have had for the last 50 years!

Remarkable unity,amongst  the Europeans has been shown and although it is costing its own citizens a steep price they realise ,if Russia gets its evil way they will then be next in the firing line!

We in South Africa have opted for neutrality in this war as our diverse society is split down the middle on actions to be taken. Fortunately we have minerals that will always be needed in all circumstances.

Single mineral mines can suffer as supply might be interupted by oversupply.

 How ever we have the platinum group metals of which we along with Russia and Canada are the main suppliers. The main minerals in this group are Platinum,Palladium and Rhodium, Each is a seperate mineral found in the same vein(groove) in the mine.

Other minerals produced in smaller quantity by these same mines is Iridium,Osmium,Silver and Gold!

Please America do not abandon us as we are looked upon with covetous eyes by China and Russia!
