Global Commodity Prices Rose Sharply Early This Year
At the end of January 2018, inventories at LME stood at just under 306,000 tonnes and at SHFE at 164,000 tonnes. For the year 2018 as a whole, experts see global consumption of 24.3 million tonnes. Positive long-term impetus comes from e-mobility, the ICT sector and the renewables industry.
