Resource Nationalism and its Impact on the Global Automotive Market
GlobalAutoIndustry.com’s latest Audio Interview “Resource Nationalism and its Impact on the Global Automotive Market” features Lisa Reisman. Ms. Reisman CEO of MetalMiner, which serves as the leading metal market price intelligence brand. The company has quickly become the PRA (price reporting agency) for a range of metal price points including: Grain oriented electrical steel, a full range of North American stainless steel prices, a complete range of eMobility and CleanTech battery indexes, tinplate and other less commonly used metals. The company’s platform, MetalMiner Insights, provides forecasts, analysis and solutions for global manufacturers for a full range of carbon steel, nonferrous metals, precious metals and minor metals.
In the 15-minute Audio Interview, Ms. Reisman discusses these questions:
- Despite the more sluggish global economy – in China, in Europe and in the US, we are still hearing of part shortages and material availability issues. Why is that happening because it runs counter to a lower demand environment? Also can you give an overview of which metals this is happening in?
- This sounds like an issue that obviously impacts the global auto industry but doesn’t it also impact much bigger parts of the US economy as well?
- What has been the impact of resource nationalism on prices and what is the relationship between prices and material availability?
- You discussed earlier the impact on governments but how are industries or better yet individual companies thinking about mitigating this supply risk?
