The 2026 men’s FIFA World Cup will take place across Canada, Mexico and the US from June 11 to July 19, with 48 national teams competing in 16 host cities—two in Canada, three in Mexico and 11 in the US. As attention turns to the tournament’s economic implications, the key question is whether an event of this scale can meaningfully shift activity in two large, diversified North American economies.

Indonesia must adopt a balanced, integrated approach to its aluminum supply chain to avoid repeating oversupply pressures that have weighed on the nickel market, industry experts said June 4 at the 2026 Indonesia Critical Minerals Conference in Jakarta.
Indonesia emerged as the world's leading nickel producer after a 2020 ban on nickel ore exports prompted predominantly Chinese capital into domestic processing facilities. The Southeast Asian country produced 66.6% of the world's mined nickel in 2025, according to @SPGMarketIntel data.

Metals markets are navigating a complex landscape where easing geopolitical tensions are intersecting with persistent supply chain vulnerabilities and robust structural demand. Following record highs earlier in May, industrial metals prices have pulled back as markets react to a fragile ceasefire in the Persian Gulf and renewed hopes for a US-Iran diplomatic agreement. This recalibration removes some of the "war-hedge" premium that had recently elevated prices for commodities like copper and silver.

The current energy crisis should advance a more reliable and resilient energy system. Timelines for short-, medium- and long-term actions must align to make primary energy choices that benefit energy consumption across end users. Policymakers and regulators can accelerate the reform agenda, but the pace of change will be dictated by the Indian energy market’s dependence on global energy flows and supply chains.

Global exploration budgets for key battery metals fell sharply in 2025, declining 43% to $958 million. While this downturn reflects broad market oversupply, its impact has not been uniform. New analysis from @SPGMarketIntel shows how policy, project maturity, and corporate strategy are creating resilient hotspots even in a weaker market.
The latest research, "Battery Exploration Trends," provides a data-driven look at where investment has proven most resilient and where it has retreated fastest.

The Trump administration's imposition of a 50% tariff on imports of aluminum and steel has helped build momentum in the US for metals projects, but industry experts say shifting trade policy may be limiting the tariffs' impact on investments.
President Donald Trump doubled the Section 232 tariffs for steel and aluminum in June 2025, raising each to 50%. Trump said the higher charges would boost domestic production and reduce US reliance on foreign imports.

From @EnergySPG: The growth of data centers, and the amount of electricity expected to be required to meet that demand, is probably the biggest issue in the US power sector.
US grid power supplied to hyperscale, leased and crypto-mining data centers reached about 64.4 gigawatts in 2025, nearly tripling since 2020. And that growth is accelerating.
In this episode, host Dan Testa speaks with Brandon Oyer, head of energy and water for the Americas at Amazon Web Services. Oyer breaks down what he describes as misperceptions regarding the water and power impacts of data centers, the ways in which many people rely on data centers without realizing it and how AWS works with utilities to develop new projects.

Australian beef exports to China are rapidly approaching a key threshold, with 90% of the country's quota already exhausted as of June 1, China's Ministry of Commerce said June 2.
Once the quota is exhausted, a 55% out-of-quota tariff will take effect from the third day thereafter, raising the risk of a sharp slowdown in trade flows.
China's country-specific safeguard measures were announced on Dec. 31, 2025, following the conclusion of a safeguard investigation into beef imports launched on Dec. 31, 2024. The measures were introduced to protect China's domestic cattle farming and beef industry after a surge in imported beef volumes.

The Middle East war has been the biggest test of India’s resilience in recent years. It triggered the largest energy shock on record, and its consequences extend to freight and insurance costs, supply chains, and fertilizers, which have a multidimensional impact on the economy. Its ultimate impact will depend on the scale, intensity and duration of the conflict.
