Mega Trends Are Aligning In The Natural Resource Space
28 Jan 2021
About the event
Commodity prices have rebounded from their 2020 lows; supported in large part by massive global stimulus efforts; an improving global growth outlook; a weaker U.S. dollar and increasing inflationary concerns. By and large; traditional resource companies have remained financially prudent throughout the recovery and should continue to benefit from any form of steady; upward trend in underlying prices. Meanwhile; policy; consumer behaviour and investor sentiment have all supported a growing market for so called “transition resources” – such as renewable energies; sustainable agriculture; and metals used in the manufacturing of electric vehicles and batteries – which should continue to provide additional opportunities in the space for years to come.
