Commodities ace Edward Meir to contribute to AMU beginning next month!
Written by Michael Cowden
We’re excited to announce that Edward Meir, a highly regarded commodities analyst, will be contributing to Aluminum Market Update (AMU) beginning in November.
Meir will also be taking part in an SMU and AMU Community Chat on Thursday, Nov. 20, at 11 am ET to discuss the latest market developments and to share his unique insights. You can register to attend here.
He has covered base metals, precious metals, crude oil, and tropical commodities over the span of his four-decade career. Meir is also a former metals trader in aluminum, tin, and steel. In short, we’re sure you’ll find value in what Meir writes for AMU and in what he says on our webinars.
Many know Meir for his easy-to-read and popular market commentary as well as his consistent forecasting accuracy. Case in point: He was named the most accurate price forecaster for the LME base metals in five of the ten years between 2010 and 2020.
He, in addition, obtained a top-five precious metals ranking in five of the seven years during this period (including a No. 1 finish in 2019), along with a No. 2 finish in 2021 in the prestigious LBMA Precious Metals Forecast Survey.
Meir attended Montreal’s McGill University, where he got his degree in economics, and New York University, where he obtained his MBA. We are happy to have Meir on board as a valued contributor to AMU.
