            <description><![CDATA[Gold prices could face further pressure in the coming days as rising US Treasury yields and expectations of additional Federal Reserve rate hikes sap demand for the non-yielding metal. Spot gold fell as much as 4% to $4 111/oz on Monday, its lowest since August 5, as oil prices climbed amid a stalemate in US-Iran talks and the yield on the benchmark ten-year US Treasury note touched its highest since June 2007, before paring gains.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[India’s power plants are rapidly exhausting coal inventories as generators ramp up production to offset weak hydro and the evening drop-off in solar output, prompting the government to invoke an emergency rule to boost electricity supplies.

The federal government has mandated companies with captive coal generation capacity of more than 50 MW to run the plants at full throttle and sell surplus electricity through exchanges, according to a power ministry notification. The rule applies to companies in sectors such as steel, fertilizers, oil refining and cement that operate in-house plants to power their factories.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Indonesia, the world’s biggest coal exporter, is failing to tap into soaring prices for the fuel as countries look to offset reduced natural gas supplies from the Persian Gulf.

At a conference on Bali that’s the highlight of the local industry’s calendar, traders are confronting some of the tightest supply conditions in years. Exports fell to a five-year low this month following the slashing of mining quotas by the government as well as low water levels at key barging rivers, DBX Commodities said in a note.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[India expects coal to supply about half its electricity through 2035-36 as surging power demand forces the country to rely on thermal generation alongside a rapid expansion of renewable energy, senior power ministry officials said on Thursday.

"Thermal is here to stay for a long time," said Aadhar Raj, joint secretary in India's Ministry of Power, at an industry event by the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry. ]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[China’s coking coal squeeze is set to persist into next year, supporting strong import demand even as efforts to revive domestic output start to cool prices.

The supply shock triggered by the fatal Shanxi mine accident in May is expected to linger into 2027, with domestic production recovering only gradually as safety restrictions remain in place. Rising shipments from Mongolia, Australia and Russia are helping offset the shortfall, but are unlikely to fully bridge the gap, according to analysts at Bloomberg Intelligence.]]></description>

Indonesia Morowali Industrial Park, a vast compound of plants on the island of Sulawesi, informed companies over the weekend that they have to reduce production of nickel pig iron - a raw material used to make stainless steel - due to the water shortage, said the people, asking not to be named as they’re not authorized to speak to media.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Liquefied natural gas (LNG) buyers are looking to diversify sourcing as the US-Israeli war against Iran cuts Gulf shipments, with importers seeking alternatives for the fuel from other suppliers ranging from West Africa to Indonesia.

While Asian governments look to lock in LNG from sellers with access to various sources, producers and trading firms want to widen supply pools by taking stakes in gas projects and buying from different countries, officials and industry executives said during last week's Gastech conference.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[The global Hydrogen Council is urging the world to scale up its hydrogen energy ecosystem at pace, which coincided with green hydrogen being declared integral to a new South African industrial framework at this week’s Africa Green Hydrogen Summit in Cape Town. While the Africa Green Hydrogen Summit was being told that the management office of South Africa’s Just Energy Transition Investment Plan programme at the Industrial Development Corporation had identified 24 hydrogen projects, the Hydrogen Council co-chairperson and Air Liquide CEO François Jackow was advising the world to “bring hydrogen to scale”, while simultaneously pointing out that the energy issues triggered by the conflict in the Middle East had reminded everyone that energy security is a “vital priority”.]]></description>
