I. Summary of Market News Silver, Copper, Tin, etc.: Peru Enacts Emergency Decree Amid Energy Crisis — Silver Surges 7.35% Spot silver surged 7.35% intraday to USD 86.80 per ounce—the highest intraday level since March 13. LME copper rose 2.84%, LME tin rose 2.31%, and LME aluminum rose 2.27%. Peru has enacted an emergency decree in response to its energy crisis. Given Peru’s exceptionally rich mineral resources—ranking among the world’s top in reserves of gold, silver, copper, and other metals—some smaller- and medium-sized mines with limited risk tolerance, as well as high-cost projects, may face output cuts or even temporary shutdowns amid the current energy crisis. Optical Communications: U.S. Optical Communication Stocks Rally Strongly POET Technologies surged over 26%; Applied Optoelectronics rose over 24%; Lumentum gained over 16%; Credo Technology climbed over 11%; Corning advanced over 10%. Hydrogen Energy: U.S. Hydrogen Energy Sector Soars FuelCell Energy (FCEL) jumped 16.35%; Plug Power (PLUG) surged 12.82%; Bloom Energy (BE) rose 8.80%. Plug Power released an earnings report that significantly exceeded expectations—marking the company’s first-ever positive gross margin (2.4%), thereby completely reversing long-standing expectations of persistent losses and validating the viability of its business model. Electrolyzer revenue accounted for 25.9% of total Q2 revenue—a staggering 300% year-on-year increase—and has become the company’s primary growth engine. SpaceX Space-Based Photovoltaics, Tesla Robotics, Boeing, Apple, etc.: Trump to Visit China Trump is scheduled to visit China from May 13–15. The two sides plan to discuss establishing a U.S.-China Trade Council, a U.S.-China Investment Council, and cooperation in aviation, agriculture, energy, and other sectors. Heterojunction Solar Cells: China to Launch 200,000 Satellites According to a post by CCTV News on Weibo, China plans to build its own satellite internet constellation, requiring the launch of 200,000 satellites. The Chinese Space Station has received a 768-kg cargo delivery. The Tianzhou-10 cargo spacecraft carried 67 scientific research items—including flexible monocrystalline silicon heterojunction solar cells. These solar cells were sent into space to undergo real-world testing under extreme conditions—high and low temperatures, radiation, and atomic oxygen—and will later be returned to Earth for analysis, refinement, and performance enhancement. This lightweight yet highly efficient flexible solar panel is precisely the “power heart” needed for future large-scale satellite networks.
