As the famous New York Yankee player and coach, Yogi Berra, once said “It’s like déjà vu all over again”. The current commodity markets with record and near record high prices for copper, iron ore, lumber, gold etc. is certainly feeling much like the boom that started in the early 2000’s and ended post the GFC. Are we seeing a repeat of the so called “Super Cycle” and what does it mean for the mining sector, global growth, inflation and interest rates. We are delighted to host our next Asia Mining Club event on June 2nd with Jeffrey Currie, Global Head of Commodities Research – Goldman Sachs, one of the financial industries most respected experts on the global commodity market. Please join us to hear Jeff’s views on the current environment and the outlook for commodity markets globally and how they could impact the global economy, financial markets and the mining industry.”
