Representatives of the Panamanian government forcibly entered the terminals operated by PPC in the Ports of Balboa and Cristóbal and forcibly took over administrative and operational control of the terminals. As the Company understands, the concession was deemed terminated on February 23rd, 2026, and PPC ceased all operations at the terminals in both ports on the same day. PPC has received feedback that the ruling, the administrative decree, and the corresponding actions taken by the Panamanian government regarding PPCs terminal operations in the two ports are inconsistent with the relevant legal framework and the law that approved the concession agreement. The Board strongly opposes the ruling, the administrative decree, and the corresponding actions taken by Panama. The Group, together with its legal counsel, reserves all its rights and intends to take all appropriate and feasible legal measures to protect its interests, including pursuing further domestic and international legal proceedings in this matter.

Gold Price Prediction: XAU/USD recovers to $1,700; negative potential intact

Gold extends Tuesday's retreat from a weekly high and continues to lose ground through the first half of Wednesday's trading session. The XAU/USD falls further below $1,700 for the third consecutive trading day, but stops just above the monthly low reached last Thursday.

 

The persistent purchasing of U.S. dollars remains ongoing and is a crucial element imposing downward pressure on dollar-denominated gold. In fact, the USD Index, which measures the performance of the greenback against a basket of currencies, reaches a new 20-year high in anticipation of a more aggressive Fed policy tightening.

 

In fact, current market pricing shows a probability of greater than 70% that the Fed will increase interest rates by 75 basis points at its upcoming meeting on September 20-21. The bets were confirmed by Tuesday's positive US ISM Services PMI, which caused a sell-off in the US government debt market and pushed the 30-year bond yield to its highest level since 2014.

 

In addition, the yield on the benchmark 10-year US Treasury note rose to levels not observed since June 16. This, in turn, provides extra support for the greenback and also contributes to a shift away from non-yielding gold. However, the existing risk-averse sentiment helps prevent deeper losses for the safe-haven precious metal for the time being.

 

Fears of a recession have been fueled by the likelihood of rapid interest rate increases, as well as the economic headwinds resulting from new COVID-19 restrictions in China and the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. This continues to weigh on investor sentiment, as evidenced by the generally gloomier tone on equities markets, and supports conventional safe-haven investments.

 

The flight to safety aids gold's comeback to the $1,700 round-number mark, but further recovery remains elusive. In the absence of market-moving economic releases from the United States, Fed officials' remarks will play a significant role in determining the USD's price dynamics. This could create chances for short-term trading in the commodity.
