Inflation, rising interest rates, geo-political conflict, price shocks – it is starting to feel like a re-run of the 1970’s! How did we get here and where are we going? What’s in store for the global economy, commodity prices and the mining industry? Are major trends such as energy transition and localization of supply chains going to result in a repeat of the 1970’s when market dislocation and inflation turned the world economy and markets on their head? Who wins and loses in this scenario, what commodities benefit and how does the mining sector adjust to a world less focused on global supply chains and more focused on security of supply? Please join us for the Asia Mining Club’s first event of 2022 on April 28th for a dynamic discussion on the current global economic environment and the implications for the commodity and mining sector. Our panel includes some of the leading experts and participants in the economic, commodity and mining world in Asia: Patrick Bennett – Head of Asia Macro Strategy, CIBC; Neil Dhar – President & CEO, CITIC Commodities; Richy Xie – Head of Asia Metals & Mining Banking, Standard Chartered; and Tarun Dhingra — Head of Commodities, Morgan Stanley Asia Pacific.
