Kazakh President is to offer Germany a closer cooperation on raw materials and industrial sectors, Handelsblatt reports citing sources Daily US Equity Opening News - NVDA $150B share buyback increase; US plans to ease fuel economy standards Three officials tell The Associated Press that mediators were still working with Iran and the United States on a deal to end the fighting and open the Strait of Hormuz, with the indirect talks expected to resume on Monday. German interest in Central Asian raw materials has surfaced before in the context of efforts to diversify supply chains away from single-source exposure, and such initiatives have historically produced framework agreements and memoranda long before any physical offtake or investment flows. The distinction worth drawing is between diplomatic signalling, which this is, and contracted supply: the former moves sentiment in the uranium and rare earth complex only marginally, the latter is what has repriced producers in past episodes. Kazakhstan's track record is one of multi-vector hedging rather than firm alignment, so offers to one counterparty have typically been followed by parallel engagement with others. What is worth watching is whether the approach converts into named projects, financing commitments or offtake terms, and whether any routing arrangements bypassing Russian infrastructure feature in the discussion.
