About 75% of 2023 revenue was from copper, with a further 15% from gold and about 10% from molybdenum. It had about 25 years of copper reserves at end December 2023. we expect it to sell similar amounts of copper midcycle in 2028, though we expect gold volumes to decline to about 700,000 ounces then due to falling production at Grasberg.</p>

What the Options Market Tells Us About Chevron

<p>There&#8217;s something magical about moving into a newly constructed home: the smell of recently milled wood, new paint and gleaming tiles – knowing no one has lived there before you. However, like anything in real estate, that privilege comes with a price. According to a recent report from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/11/42234719/redfin-reveals-22-of-renters-say-they-have-nothing-left-after-paying-rent">Redfin</a>, asking rents for newly constructed apartments rose 1.5% – the biggest year-over-year increase in 18 months – to a median of $1,802 in the third quarter.</p>
<p><strong>Don't Miss:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Commercial real estate has historically outperformed the stock market, and<a href="https://equitymultiple.com/benzinga?invite=benzinga&amp;utm_campaign=product-promotion-earn&amp;utm_source=yahooFinance&amp;utm_medium=affiliate&amp;utm_content=stockmarket-yahoo"><strong> this platform allows individuals to invest in commercial real estate with as little as $5,000 offering a 12% target yield with a bonus 1% return boost today!</strong></a></strong></li>
<li><strong>If there was a new fund backed by Jeff Bezos offering a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/go/arrived-private-credit-yf"><strong>7-9% target yield with monthly dividends would you invest in it</strong></a>?</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>It&#8217;s a surprising stat given that the deluge of newly constructed apartments, primarily in Sunbelt states, caused rents for new apartments to fall by more than 7% in Q1 and Q2. The latest numbers reflect that the newer apartments are now being filled. Redfin based its numbers on an analysis of the U.S. Census Bureau&#8217;s data for newly constructed, unfurnished, unsubsidized, privately financed rental apartments in buildings with five or more units. Apartments completed in the second quarter of 2024 and either rented or not rented within three months were used to compile the survey.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Northeast Stumbles While Everywhere Else Soars</h2>
<p>Only the Northeast saw asking rents fall (-3.6%) after the number of recently finished apartments rose 13% year over year in the second quarter to the highest level since the fourth quarter of 2022. The rental decrease could have been due to several reasons – primarily that rents in the Northeast, particularly in places like Boston and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/12/42256888/as-nyc-rents-hit-new-highs-85-of-residents-look-to-buy-elsewhere-heres-what-they-find">New York</a>, were already high, with many residents moving to the Sunbelt states, according to government census data.&nbsp;</p>

Here&#8217;s how everyday investors are getting started.</strong></a></strong></p>
<p>&#8220;We would usually predict that rents will stay flat or even potentially fall when there are so many new apartment buildings opening up. What&#8217;s interesting in the third quarter is that rents are rising by more than the national average in the West and Midwest, even after the number of new apartments spiked between 30-50%,&#8221; Redfin Senior Economist Sheharyar Bokhari said in the report. &#8220;This is likely due to more new apartments being built in more expensive metros in each region, pushing the overall levels up.&#8221;</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">High-End Finishes and Amenities</h2>
<p>The competition among new multifamily developments for tenants has led to higher-end finishes and more amenities, even among mid-priced rentals. Comfort, sustainability and catering to the increased number of work-from-home or hybrid working tenants have been at the forefront of developers&#8217; minds.</p>

<p>&#8220;From state-of-the-art fitness facilities to luxurious pools, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/08/40168219/despite-market-challenges-multifamily-real-estate-shines-50-of-our-loans-this-year-says-industry-exp">multifamily developments</a> can bring a unique experience to day-to-day life,&#8221; Jared Bradley, president and founder of The Bradley Projects, told<a href="https://www.multifamilyexecutive.com/design-development/design/10-top-multifamily-design-trends-for-2024_o"> </a>multifamilyexecutive.com. &#8220;Small pockets of privacy for tenants to complete their work gives residents the feeling of &#8216;leaving their apartment&#8217; without stepping outside the building,&#8221; he added. &#8220;The confines of apartments can sometimes feel tight for working from home and areas designated for remote workers can allow tenants to leave their units and work from other comfortable places in their building.&#8221;</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">More Of The Same In 2025</h2>
<p>According to<a href="https://www.yardimatrix.com/publications/download/file/6638-MatrixMultifamilyNationalReport-Winter2025?signup=false"> </a>a new outlook from Yardi Matrix, rents for new developments will continue to grow in 2025, outstripping other sectors of the multifamily sector. The report stated that a &#8220;large number of properties under construction will support robust supply growth again in 2025 … which will push rents higher as the supply boom starts to fade.&#8221;</p>

Dreaming Of Moving Into A Newly Constructed Apartment? Redfin Reports The Shocking Premium For That Privilege As Rents Soar

<p><strong>Palladyne AI Corp. </strong>(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PDYN#NASDAQ">PDYN</a>) shares are trading higher on possible continued momentum Thursday. The company announced that it completed the first autonomous tracking flight using its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/12/b42647049/palladyne-ai-achieves-key-milestone-with-first-small-drone-autonomous-tracking-flight">Palladyne Pilot AI software platform</a> on Monday.</p>
<p><strong>What To Know: </strong>The test involved a third-party small drone that identified, prioritized and autonomously tracked terrestrial targets. This marked the first time Palladyne's AI platform interfaced with third-party autopilot software, enabling the drone to autonomously navigate while following a target.</p>
<p>Previously, the AI system demonstrated target identification and prioritization on stationary nodes and hovering drones. This new test flight expands the platform&#8217;s capabilities and moves it closer to commercialization, expected by the end of first-quarter 2025.</p>
<p>&#8220;Once we complete commercialization of Palladyne Pilot &#8212; which we expect to happen by the end of the&nbsp;first quarter&nbsp;of 2025 &#8212; small, economical drones will finally offer some of the same intelligence capabilities that larger, multi-million-dollar unmanned systems have had for years,&#8221; said <strong>Dr. Denis Garagic</strong>, co-founder and CTO, Palladyne AI.</p>
<p><strong>PDYN Price Action:</strong> Palladyne shares were up 44.7% at $7.15 at the time of writing, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?new_user=False&amp;backend=google-oauth2">Benzinga Pro.</a></p>
