The global mining sector is facing significant challenges, losing nearly $500 billion in market capitalization over two months due to macroeconomic pressures, inflation, and declining demand for key metals. Investors are shifting away from risky assets amid economic uncertainties, leading to severe corrections in precious and industrial metals. The demand slowdown from major Asian economies, particularly China, has heavily impacted copper and iron ore prices. Companies in lithium and other critical materials for green transition are feeling the pressure from large investment funds. Experts warn that this correction could have lasting effects on supply chains for future technologies, with potential resource deficits looming as the global economy recovers.
