The industrial metals super-cycle has accelerated, not slowed down
Reading time:20 MIN
In April of last year, we argued that demand for industrial metals would be structurally boosted by the fight against climate change. Supply, on the other hand, would not be prepared for this. All in all, we judged that we would be at the beginning of a new super-cycle. Until April of this year, everything went "according to plan" and industrial metals gained about 50% in US-dollar terms. Since then, they have gone into reverse. Has the super-cycle vanished into thin air? Quite the opposite, we argue, and we see good opportunities to enter it now.
