The company's gross profit also expanded from USD 3.5 million in 2018 to USD 51.5 million in 2022.

1.5 Underlying Commodities Analysis:

Silver prices rebounded from a recent low of USD 20.9 per ounce on October 5th, reaching USD22 per ounce, driven by a weakened dollar and declining Treasury yields as the market assessed the Federal Reserve's monetary policy. The latest FOMC meeting minutes indicated the Fed's concern about potential overtightening risks and the uncertainty regarding the need for another interest rate hike in the current economic cycle. This sentiment aligns with recent statements by FOMC members, suggesting that tighter credit conditions resulting from higher bond yields may align with the Fed's monetary objectives, potentially eliminating the need for further rate hikes. Furthermore, the recovery of government bonds in the second week of October had a positive impact on solar panel producers' equities, bolstering the outlook for silver's demand as an essential industrial input.
