With industrial metals positioned as critical components in sustainable infrastructure, the sector’s momentum is likely to continue as countries strive to meet ambitious climate goals. This trend has positioned industrial metals as a promising opportunity for investors, especially as the world accelerates its transition to greener technologies.
