MetalMiner 2022 Metal Price Predictions and How to Set World Class Buying Strategies

MetalMiner 2022 Metal Price Predictions and How to Set World Class Buying Strategies MM_Dec2021Webinar

While no one has a crystal ball, MetalMiner will present a 2022 outlook using technical analysis (TA) models and artificial intelligence (AI). This webinar will touch on specific buying strategies that align with both the short- and long-term forecasts. Knowing whether a metal is in a long-term bull, bear or sideways market informs sourcing strategy. This webinar will cover: stainless steel, aluminum, carbon steel, copper and zinc.

Will steel continue to fall or is this only a seasonal slowdown? Will aluminum prices recover and touch long-term highs recently reached? How will Section 232 tariff policy reshape the steel market in 2022?

Join this 45-minute webinar and test your read of the market against MetalMiner analysts and learn how using this type of forecast can save buying organizations money over the long term.

How Artificial Intelligence and Technical Analysis Provide Metal Buyers with Superior Actionable Insights

Fundamental analysis – the study of supply and demand has long dominated the old guard metal analyst firms. The problem with fundamental analysis is that it’s rarely right and therefore does not provide buying organizations with the information needed to prevent margin erosion, manage price volatility or develop sound contracting strategies. Much of the “crystal ball” lies in the hands of the buying organization.

Understanding the trends, and not the specific price points, by using a combination of technical analysis (analysis that uses patterns in market data to identify trends and make predictions) and artificial intelligence provides buying organizations with the tools and insights needed to make the right buying decisions consistently.

Rising steel prices have sounded like a broken record. As we get closer to 2022, will we ever see them peak?

Join VP, Business Solutions Don Hauser and Nichole Bastin, Forecast Analyst, for their insights during the September monthly webinar. Don and Nichole will walk through 2022 buying strategies and discuss the impact of new capacity on steel prices.

In a time of great volatility, industrial metal-buying organizations want to know how they can time their purchases in order to minimize risk as much as possible.

The coronavirus outbreak has had wide-ranging economic impacts, leading to closures of everything from retail stores to suspension of automotive production (just to name a couple).

Metal prices, in addition to stock markets at large, have taken heavy losses of late amid the coronavirus outbreak.
