CRU recently hosted a highly successful multi-commodity seminar in Beijing, welcoming around 140 attendees for an engaging and insightful discussion on the metals and fertilizers industries. This year’s turnout was nearly double that of last year, reflecting the growing interest in CRU’s expert analysis and market insights.
During the seminar, our team of analysts and consultants - John Johnson, Panos Kotseras, Linda Lin, Richard Lu, Rebecca Zhou, Tianyu He, Dina Yu, Yiwei Yin, Ruiming Zhang, Ruming Yuan, and Monique Chen - delivered compelling presentations, providing a deep dive into key industry topics. A central focus was the Chinese commodity market outlook following the Two Sessions, a critical policy-setting event. The team also examined the implications of Trump’s tariffs on both global and Chinese commodity markets, offering valuable perspectives on the evolving trade landscape.
The multi-commodity seminar topics covered a comprehensive range of commodities, including steel, stainless steel, iron ore, aluminium, copper, lead and zinc, battery materials, and green steel. Additionally, our experts provided insights into asset cost analysis and the role of energy transition minerals in shaping the future of the industry. The discussions on supply, demand, and price outlooks offered attendees actionable intelligence to navigate market uncertainties effectively.
The event brought together a diverse audience of corporate, financial professionals and government bodies, fostering meaningful conversations that extended beyond the formal presentations. The dynamic exchange of ideas highlighted the value of CRU’s insights and reinforced our commitment to providing industry-leading analysis.
A heartfelt thank you to our speakers and attendees for contributing to the success of this seminar. We look forward to continuing these important discussions and providing valuable market intelligence in future events.
