On Tuesday, 1 October 2024, CRU was thrilled to welcome over 600 clients and guests to our annual CRU Breakfast – a key highlight of London Metal Exchange (LME) Week. This flagship event is more than just a gathering, it’s a vital platform for industry leaders to come together, exchange ideas, and discuss the future of metal markets.
A Deep Dive into Key Themes
This year’s theme, "The Forces Defining the Future of Metals" focused on the complex and multifaceted risks facing metal supply chains today. As our world grapples with challenges such as climate change, geopolitical shifts, and the rapid electrification of industries, understanding these dynamics has never been more critical.
Our analysts provided their highly anticipated commodity outlooks, offering valuable insights into market trends and future projections. Meanwhile, our Consulting team shared strategies for navigating the evolving landscape of decarbonisation. Attendees also benefited from the expertise of CRU's Economic and Sustainability teams, making for a comprehensive discussion on how to thrive in these challenging times.
