Join an AMU Community Chat With Cauvin Metals Director Massimo Grifone
Written by Michael Cowden
Massimo Grifone, commercial director of Cauvin Metals, will be the featured speaker on the next Aluminum Market Update (AMU) Community Chat webinar.
The Chat will be on Thursday, Dec. 4, at 11 am ET. The live webinar is free for anyone to attend. A recording will be available only to AMU subscribers. You can register here.
Why you should listen
Cauvin Metals, based in Italy, has grown to become an important trader of primary aluminum, primary aluminum alloys, zinc, and lead. The company also offers financial, logistics, and hedging services.
That puts Grifone in a good position to bring you up to speed on the latest in the aluminum market.
What we’ll talk about
We’ll discuss the significance of a potential shutdown of the Mozal smelter in Mozambique next year in the face of a power-supply spat. We’ll also talk about the outage at Century Aluminum’s Grundartangi smelter in Iceland. The big question: Could Europe find itself short of metal? And if it does, what would it mean for global markets?
We’ll in addition delve into decarbonization. It might not be a big topic in the US right now. But in Europe, decarb is a major market driver. Grifone will dive into various metals and their scope 1 and scope 2 emissions. He’ll also discuss the latest when it comes to Europe’s carbon border adjustment mechanism (CBAM).
We’ll of course talk about the lates market trends. Case in point: How do you square a European market facing a shortage and a US market characterized by high premiums with more balanced markets in Asia? And how can prices hold up with demand that’s not terrible but nothing to write home about either?
And we’ll take your questions too! So make sure to bring some to the Q&A on Thursday, Dec. 4, at 11 am ET.
