Metals and Mining Research: Coronavirus impact
Report summary
Over the last two months Wood Mackenzie’s Metals Research team has provided weekly coverage on the impact the coronavirus has had on commodity value chains. While much uncertainty clearly remains around the long-term implications for the sector, for now it appears that supply disruptions are abating and we are entering a period of wait-and-see on the demand-side as the economic fallout from the virus starts to reveal itself. As such, we will now stop publishing our weekly written report, with all coronavirus-related updates captured in the monthly short-term outlooks. We will continue to update our “Assets disrupted by coronavirus” data set regularly for the foreseeable future.
