15/03/22 -"Ukraine-Russia crisis’s complex sector implications"
With the global economy facing one of its worst geo-political crisis since the WWII, markets have been wrong-footed in undermining the Russian threat(s). However, besides a dash for safe-haven hard commodities (such as gold), most other commodities, including base metals, have also been pushed to 2008 / ‘record’ highs. A key concern has been risk of supply disruptions, particularly from Russia – which has been slapped with numerous sanctions by the West.
While such a pricing environment has re-kindled hope of another bumper year (after an already extraordinary 2021), economic growth concerns and severe inflation risks (particularly on the energy and logistics side) are pertinent challenges and, hence, banking on sustained Metals & Mining sector tailwinds warrants caution.
