Did Scientists Just Solve The Biggest Mystery Holding Back Solid-State Batteries
Authored by Alex Kimani via OilPrice.com,
Scientists have identified the root causes of solid-state battery failures, discovering that internal pressure cracks the electrolyte while electrical imbalances trigger lithium growth that causes short circuits.
The findings could accelerate commercialization by turning a long-standing scientific mystery into a solvable engineering challenge.
Automakers including Toyota, Honda, Mercedes-Benz, and BMW are investing billions in solid-state batteries, with commercial EV deployments targeted for the second half of this decade

Key China Copper Gauge Flashes Warning As Mysteel Global Warns Metal Is "Sold Out Everywhere"
Deglobalization, decades of underinvestment in mining, rising copper demand tied to the AI data center buildout, and surging US stockpiling ahead of potential import tariffs have pushed copper prices to record highs, approaching $15,000 a ton in London.The resulting supply squeeze is forcing Chinese buyers to compete more aggressively for physical metal, driving the Yangshan premium, which measures what importers pay above London benchmark prices, to its highest level on record, Bloomberg reports.The Yangshan...

Bonds Crash Most Since Liberation Day After Catastrophic 5Y Auction; 2nd Biggest Tail On Record
Coming into today's 5Y auction, the bond market was collapsing, with yields across the curve soaring but especially the 5Y exploding a crazy 15bps heading into today's auction (of 5 Year treasuries), a massive concession which we thought would lead to "lots of demand" for today's offering.

"Strain Is Spreading": FT Exposes Private Credit Distress At Decade Highs

Earlier coverage detailed how the asset class ballooned into a $2-3 trillion opaque market after banks retreated from riskier lending, only to face a wave of high-profile defaults (First Brands, Tricolor), surging redemptions that forced gates at major vehicles, rising PIK usage, and AI-related risks to software-heavy portfolios.
In February, the red flag got about as red as it gets...
