CRU is very pleased to announce that APAC- based CRU Analysts will present a webinar on APAC metals prospects for the remainder of 2022 and beyond. Following the backdrop of high commodity and energy prices we will consider the ongoing impact of the recent Covid-induced slowdown in Chinese economic activity and price correction. This webinar will examine the prospects for metals for the remainder of the year and beyond. 

Will China stimulate the economy?  
How will this impact metals demand, including the outlook for traditional metals and battery metals?  
Have prices fallen far enough to reduce production?  
What are the prospects for non-China APAC as supply chains relocate?

Join us to hear CRU experts' insights.

CRU APAC metals webinar: China demand recovery and metals supply chain prospects

Potash markets have been tight through 2021 and 2022. Sanctions on Belarus have restricted supply, while there has been uncertainty over access to Russian production. But demand is declining. Prices are dropping. Has potash peaked?
Agenda:

- How much are Russia and Belarus exporting, and where?
- What is the outlook for potash prices and margins? 

Please share your questions with us and join the webinar for this exciting discussion.

CRU Webinar: Q&A and market update session for the potash market

The paradox of ESG data is that much of the data must come from the sites themselves- this is the source- yet producers find it difficult to produce a standardised metric that can be used to compare to against their competitors on a like-by-like basis. 

While this is a common problem faced by all regulated industries, it is a particular challenge for hard-to-abate sectors like aluminium, steel, and nitrogen. Given the scale and complexity of the challenge, hard-to-abate industries need to get their data to relay a complex message to investors, buyers, suppliers, governments, and other stakeholders. 

The pressure put on supplies of energy commodities by the Ukraine war has added to the pressure. At the same time, the data must be trusted if it is to be used. GHG emissions have been arguably easy to standardise and build trust in, but other dimensions of sustainability are also important: can we shut our eyes to them just because they are hard to measure?

In this webinar, Charlie Durant, Research Manager, CRU Sustainability, Chris Bayliss, Director of Standards, Aluminium Stewardship Initiative, and Bruce Alway, Director-Metals Research, Refinitiv, will get together with Lavan Mahadeva, Research Director, CRU Group, to explain why we need to get behind all efforts to standardise and build trust in the data, to illustrate the power of good ESG data and to explore how this might be collectively achieved.

Building trust in ESG in hard to abate aluminium sector

The pent-up demand that has been building in the automotive supply chain is going to be unleashed just as gas prices in the US hit $5 per gallon. US automobile consumers may turn to the emerging EV market to satisfy the itch for a new vehicle while trying to avoid $100 per fill-up at the gas pumps. The EV demand, and with it, EV battery demand will fire-up quickly.

Is the automotive supply chain in the Americas region ready for these new challenges and how will it impact the commodity markets? What are the expectations of commodity consumption through 2023 by the automotive market?

During this webinar, CRU experts from the aluminium, steel, and base-metals markets will appraise the latest developments, challenges, and issues in the Automotive sector and answer questions from the audience.

The complimentary live webinar includes discussion and Q&A, addressing the following topics: 
1. The automotive supply chain is improving, will it return to pre-Covid build rates? 
2. Wire and cable found new applications in EVs, what does this mean to copper/aluminium demand outlook? 
3. The automotive industry is moving from ‘just in time’ to ‘just in case’, how will the supply chain cope with the changes?

The session will be hosted by Aaron Pollock, Vice President of Sales - The Americas, with speakers Steve Williamson, Research Manager - Aluminium, Josh Spoores, Principal Analyst – Steel, and Chenfei Wang, Senior Analyst – Base Metals.

2022 will see a further sharp increase in corporate costs for aluminium rollers, as raw material and power costs continue to rise dramatically. Raw materials generally represent 70% to 90% of corporate costs for mills, therefore further increases are applying significant pressure on producers. CRU’s Aluminium rolling cost model (ARC) can help producers fully understand the cost landscape and remain competitive in a highly inflationary market. 
While costs are one of main driver for mills, emissions also continue to be a key area of focus. In line with this CRU has designed ARC to calculate Scope 1 & 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for every mill, key product and major stage of production. 
Please join us for our latest webinar which will provide a deep dive on the Aluminium Rolling Cost model and provide further insight on how this can help your company in an ever more challenging market. We welcome you to raise questions in advance so we can address them during the webinar.

Nitrogen, like many other industries covered by CRU, is hard to abate. And its role in global food security has never been more pertinent than now, with prices at record highs due to high energy prices and supply issues. The market is highly sensitive to corporate and governmental emission reduction targets and carbon pricing schemes – but there are also opportunities being presented through new technologies. 

To navigate these short and long term themes, the industry needs transparent and standardized emissions data. This data will be at the center of this critical market discussion. 

Discover the data and join the discussion. Get in touch about topics discussed in this webinar by emailing kaitlin.turnley@crugroup.com.
