Soluna (SLNH) is trading at $1.05 after a heavy washout that, in our view, overstated the probability of permanent impairment. The company has an enterprise value of roughly $72.8M against a market cap near $100M, implying a tangible asset/recoup cushion and a path to upside if mining economics or asset dispositions normalize. This is a high-risk, …

Iron ore has underperformed other metals as demand cools and seaborne supply grows.

Analysts expect a mild price trough in 2026 even as the market moves into surplus.
Morgan Stanley analysts warn that a slowdown in U.S. population growth - driven primarily by reduced immigration - could pull the country’s potential economic output down toward pre-pandemic rates.
