In this first session video, CRU's Economics and Sustainability team explore the different factors that are shaping the next era of the metals industry.

On Tuesday, 1 October 2024, CRU was delighted to host over 600 clients and guests at our annual CRU Breakfast, a cornerstone event of London Metal Exchange (LME) Week. This prominent gathering serves as an essential forum for industry leaders to network, share ideas and discuss the future of the metals market.

Our first session video, "The Forces Defining the Future of Metals," addresses the intricate and multifaceted risks currently impacting metal supply chains. In light of global challenges such as climate change, geopolitical upheavals, and the swift electrification of numerous industries, comprehending these trends is more imperative than ever.

Further video content from the day will follow soon.  Session 2 will include CRU analysts presenting their much-anticipated commodity outlooks, providing critical insights into market behaviour and future forecasts.  In our final instalment, our Consulting team discusses methods for navigating the evolving landscape of decarbonisation.
