Episode Description from the Publisher

This week’s episode features Andy Home, senior metals columnist at Reuters, in conversation with host Adrian Pocobelli on recent developments in the copper and aluminum markets. Home explains the factors behind recent volatility in copper and why aluminum prices have not shown greater strength despite robust fundamentals and very low levels of non-Russian inventory on the exchanges. He also discusses broader shifts he has observed across the metals sector in recent years, including the growing prominence of critical minerals. Home describes the current period as a “metallic age,” as metals and mining have moved from the business pages to the front page of the news.All this and more with host Adrian Pocobelli.“Rattlesnake Railroad”, “Big Western Sky”, “Western Adventure” and “Battle on the Western Frontier” by Brett Van Donsel (⁠www.incompetech.com⁠).Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License⁠creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0⁠Apple Podcasts:⁠ https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-northern-miner-podcast/id1099281201⁠Spotify:⁠ https://open.spotify.com/show/78lyjMTRlRwZxQwz2fwQ4K⁠YouTube:⁠ https://www.youtube.com/@NorthernMiner⁠Soundcloud:⁠ https://soundcloud.com/northern-miner
