The political and economic scenario of the world has been one of the major factors affecting the stability of the metals market and its position in the market ecosystem.
The metals market is an integral part of any country’s economy since it forms the foundation for its development. However, trends observed in the metals market are highly subjective to the country’s prevailing political, social, and economic conditions. For example, the demand for steel in China took a dramatic dip following the implementation of the government’s strategy to increase steel production in a bid to boost the country’s infrastructure and economy. But the production was not done in tandem with the growth in its construction and manufacturing industries, which resulted in a sharp fall in steel prices. On the other hand, political conditions across the globe, such as increased migration to the European Nation and the exit of Britain from EU, had thrown the possibilities of the metals market into deep uncertainties.
