Aurubis
$NDA (-7,23 %) celebrates the inauguration of its first multi-metal recycling plant in the United States

• Investment of around € 740 million in new Aurubis site in the US state of Georgia leads the way for sustainable multi-metal recycling in the USA
• Secondary smelter creates more than 230 jobs
• More than 180,000 tons of complex recycling materials such as printed circuit boards and copper cables are processed each year
• Metals from Aurubis are the key to the energy and mobility transition as well as digitalization and battery recycling

After just over two years of construction, Aurubis Richmond is the first secondary smelter for multi-metal recycling in the United States.

In addition to members of the Aurubis Executive Board, the ceremony was attended by the Governor of Georgia, Brian Kemp, and First Lady Marty Kemp as well as numerous high-ranking guests from politics, business and society.

$NDA (-7,23 %) delivers good results despite all the problems and a shutdown. Nice to hear after such a week

05.08.2024 + Bitcoin falls 14% + Warren Buffed sells 50% of his Apple shares + Aurubis tailwind from copper + Tokyo stock market falls 10%, is the FED to blame?

The Bitcoin $BTC (-0,47 %) lost a lot of ground on Monday due to increasing risk aversion on the financial markets. The price of the oldest and best-known cryptocurrency plummeted to 53,000 dollars in early trading. That is around 8,500 dollars or almost 14 percent less than late Friday evening. Bitcoin had already fallen sharply last week. With the drop on Monday, the Bitcoin price also fell back to the level seen at the end of February, after climbing to a record high of almost 74,000 dollars in mid-March.

The stock markets in East Asia and Australia started the week with heavy losses in some cases. The stock markets are thus following the renewed sharp falls on Wall Street on Friday. There, weak US labor market data had fueled concerns that the US Federal Reserve might have kept interest rates too high for too long to allow a "soft landing" of the US economy. Instead, heightened fears of recession put downward pressure on the stock markets. Added to this were geopolitical concerns and some disappointing figures from some heavyweights in the technology sector.

Berkshire Hathaway Inc. $BRK.B (+0,21 %) sold its stake in Apple Inc. $AAPL (+0,17 %) by almost 50 %. This is part of a massive selling spree in the second quarter that saw Warren Buffett's cash holdings rise to a record 276.9 billion dollars. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/videos/2024-08-05/warren-buffett-s-berkshire-hathaway-cuts-apple-stake-by-almost-half

Higher prices for copper and sulphuric acid have Aurubis $NDA (-7,23 %) in the third quarter. The company also continued to benefit from lower energy prices. This was offset by high costs for a maintenance shutdown in Hamburg. With sales increasing by 13 percent to almost 4.7 billion euros, the operating pre-tax result multiplied year-on-year to 90 million euros in the three months to the end of June, as the MDax group announced on Monday. However, the previous year's profit was subsequently adjusted significantly downwards due to a distribution of metal shortfalls that became necessary as a result of cases of fraud and theft. The pre-tax profit for the first nine months amounted to 333 million euros. Analysts had expected a little more on average. Aurubis is still targeting 380 to 480 million euros for the full fiscal year.
