Column: Electric dreams turn into a nightmare for battery metals
A sector that was once racing to build new supply has been closing mines and deferring projects as low prices bite into the cost curve.
The Guangzhou Futures Exchange (GFEX) said on Tuesday that it plans to launch China’s first platinum and palladium futures contracts to offer a domestic price hedging mechanism.
