Graeme Train, Trafigura’s Global Head of Metals and Minerals Analysis, spoke at the Financial Times Commodities Global Summit on critical metals. He emphasised the pivotal role that zinc and lead refiners play in supplying essential by-products such as germanium, gallium, and antimony – materials that are vital to modern technologies.   In the context of the conflict in Iran and rising power prices, Train stressed the need for government support to safeguard these strategically important assets. “In the West, metals processing is under huge pressure. These are strategic assets we can’t afford to lose.” #FTCommodities #Commodities #Metals #CriticalMinerals #FTSummit #Trafigura
