2021 Macquarie Base Metals Summit

Exploring the divergent and emerging pathways across metals markets

Macquarie’s Base Metals Summit is a key event during London Metal Exchange (LME) Week that connects the metals industry globally.

This year, we uncovered the crucial role that commodities will play in facilitating the energy transition and new technology, the surge in demand, strain on supply and the growing factors impacting metals markets.

Our team of experts discussed how these forces weigh up against the global growth slowdown, ongoing risks surrounding new COVID-19 strains, and policy changes in China.  

This year our event took place virtually, featuring a series of presentations and market discussions, made available online.

Agenda highlights

  • Base metals demand and the impact of the energy transition.
  • Do we face a copper constraint? Where copper and zinc supply growth will be found.
  • Nickel and electric vehicle battery deep dive.
  • Global carbon pricing and the implications for markets.
