RE: Glencore set for strong re-rating, says Jefferies16 Feb 2023 11:24
Commodities production and trading are not rocket science! They are simply related to wars (disasters) and peace (rebuilding) in preparation for next war. One tank is weight 100 tons and one marine destroyer is 100,000 tons. Do not add munitions, which are daily consumables! Here we are in Europe having both war and earthquake destruction. One building of 10 flats would consume 50 tones of metal. It's very sad things to think about. However we have to face these realities. For the last 20 years we have 2 wars in Europe. One in the ex Yogoslavis countries and a new on in Ukraine. All of these events whether peaceful growth or wars are putting constraint on already depleted resources. People talking about EV revolution! From the time Tesla was marketed till 2040 these vehicles for civil use will not consume more than 0.0001% of total metals and energy already in use by internal consumption engines in the world. Don't be dubbed by future forecast on reduced demand on commodities! We are not going to stop War and Peace (preparation for next war).
