The Asia Mining Club invites you to a cocktail reception, featuring a presentation and Q&A with CLSA’s highly ranked Commodity Strategist, Mr Ian Roper.
Iron ore:
Ian is well-known as a long-term iron ore bear. Learn why he continues to believe the iron ore price has further to fall next year, and hear his thoughts on the prospects for Chinese steel demand as Beijing loosens housing policy.
Coal:
Coal markets appear to have reached a bottom. Ian will share some views on how far prices might recover and what the key levers are.
Nickel:
Nickel is highly topical at the moment, as over-exuberance earlier in the year has turned to dismay, with prices giving back all their gains. However, learn why Ian believes that the story has further to run.
Copper:
Learn why Ian’s favourite commodity on a 2-5 year view is still copper, and why there will be a number of buying opportunities in the next 6-12 months.
