REMINDER: our July Metals Activity Report is on an approximately 1-month publication delay due to transition of production. More details at the link, but have no fear: The July and August MAR data are expected to be released the week of Sept. 18, 2023. Here's more background: MSCI has transitioned production of the Metals Activity Report (MAR) and Metals Tendencies Report (MTR) from McCoy, Scott & Company to Keybridge Research LLC. With the July release of MAR today and MTR now completed, we have closed out our work with McCoy, Scott & Company. Keybridge is currently working to ensure a smooth transition of these products. In working to ensure the rigor and longstanding accuracy of MAR data, we anticipate there will be short delay in the release of the August 2023 edition of MAR, which contains July data. Normally, the August 2023 edition of MAR would have hit MSCI’s website and our participants’ and subscribers’ inboxes in mid-August. As noted above, we are now targeting release for mid-September in tandem with that month’s edition of MAR. Regarding the MTR, our goal is to restart publication of this quick turnaround opinion survey by Q4 2023. We will share more information as it becomes available regarding when to expect the next release. We understand a delay in the release of any of these products is an inconvenience for our participants, subscribers, users, and member companies. We are working hard to minimize disruptions. Please do not hesitate to reach out to Justin Scott if you have questions. https://lnkd.in/e7nPhq5a #metalsactivityreport #industrialmetals #steel #aluminum #servicecenters #MetalMatters

Diversity is strength – this idea has shaped us for many years. By networking our smelters, we have created advantages that clearly set us apart from the competition. Our sustainably produced metals are essential to all technologies of the future. We continue to advance and optimize our smelters to meet the growing global demand for metals. This allows us to process complex metals even more efficiently, use intermediate products, and close internal material loops. The result: higher scaling effects and more metals. Our expertise is the foundation of our progress. Every smelter is different, and each one generates value. Only by working together, though, can we fully realize our unique strength.𝐎𝐮𝐫 𝐫𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐧𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 Learn more about our smelter network in our online Annual Report 2022/23: https://lnkd.in/eA9DR8bB #ourrefinednetwork #annualreport #metalsforprogress

BCAST - Brunel Centre for Advanced Solidification Technology, the world renowned research centre, is celebrating #AluminiumDay! 🎉 See link below to find out why https://lnkd.in/em3xf_T2 Global #aluminium consumption is expected to increase from 100Mt/year today to 140Mt/year by 2030, and 180Mt/year by 2050. The UK imports 1.2Mt/year of aluminium, and due to a lack of infrastructure to re-process into semi-fabricated products it exports up to 1Mt/year of aluminium scrap, which is mainly downcycled; costing the UK economy £3.7bn/year. To address, BCAST is pioneering a step change using our world leading aluminium #research, to drive greenshoring of the aluminium industry and reduce the need for mining of carbon intensive primary aluminium ~ Dr Mark Jones. Aluminium Federation (ALFED) are proud to support BCAST's #CircularMetals work at #BrunelUniversityLondon. Their commitment to advancing #sustainable #metals aligns perfectly with our industry's goals. Together, we aim to drive #innovation and collaboration towards achieving a #circulareconomy for metals, ensuring a more sustainable and resilient future for generations to come ~ Nadine Bloxsome

We're tokenizing nickel and other base metals to democratize access to markets that are presently inaccessible to the average individual. Let's explore the factors that make nickel an intriguing option for those interested in alternative investment opportunities — 1️⃣ Nickel has outperformed the S&P 500 over the past 6 years, rising an average of 10.3% vs the S&P 500's 8.9%. 2️⃣ Nickel is relatively uncorrelated from the broader stock market, meaning it may provide some protection to your portfolio in bear markets. The S&P 500 dropped by over 30% during the COVID crash, while nickel only dropped about 9%. 3️⃣ Rapidly growing demands for batteries driven by increased demand for electric vehicles and battery storage are likely to provide a tailwind for nickel as a commodity over the coming years. Nickel is used in the cathode of all the most popular lithium-based rechargeable batteries, such as those made by Tesla, Panasonic, and LG Chem. Use of nickel for batteries has grown from about 3% in 2017 to 13% in 2022 and is likely to continue growing as demand for renewable energy and sustainable transportation grows. 4️⃣ The price of nickel can at times spike to incredible highs due to international conflicts, creating extremely quick returns. In 2022, when Russia invaded Ukraine, the price of nickel on the London Metal Exchange went from $19,600/ton to $100,000/ton in three months due to a combination of a large supplier (Russia) becoming unavailable to most of the western world and short covering by traders in the sector. Such spikes are not unique to 2022 either — there was a large and sustained spike in prices starting around 2006 due to huge demand from Chinese stainless steel producers. 5️⃣ There are currently no ETFs or other easily accessible financial instruments through an investor with less than a few million dollars to make a concentrated bet on nickel. The closest product would be a basket of other metals, or an ETF of the stocks of mining companies, many of which will not benefit much from electric vehicle proliferation.
