China. We write about it a lot, but MetalMiner writes about it a LOT. Quoting them, "what happens in China most certainly does not stay in China. Instead, Chinese actions and events have a tremendous effect on the global economy." Check out the following:
The WikiLeaks Files – China Computer Hacking Hits US Manufacturing
China Has a Competitor to Boeing and Airbus
China Bidding for High Speed Rail Projects in the US
2010 was a year of ETFs in the metals industry. From base metals to the more controversial rare earths, MetalMiner covered them all:
Base Metal ETFs One Step Closer to Launch – Impact on Industrial Metal Buying Organizations
Metal Hoarding A Concern Amidst New ETF Launches?
Putting the Copper, Tin and Nickel ETF Hype to Bed – For Now
JP Morgan and Lynas Behind New Rare Earth Metal ETF – Where is Industry?
Finally, one of my favorite things about MetalMiner is that they look not only at price trends and global issues, but also at practical and aesthetic applications of metal in the design and art world. See some posts here about how beautiful metal can be.
