This week’s episode features Andy Home, Senior Metals Columnist at Reuters, in conversation with host Adrian Pocobelli on the aluminum market and recent developments surrounding the Strait of Hormuz. Home explains why aluminum is facing a “slow-burn” supply crisis and why resolving it will be difficult. He also examines the impact of a closure of the Strait of Hormuz on global aluminum supply chains. In addition, Home discusses tungsten, its military applications, and why shortages of the metal are likely to persist.

All this and more with host Adrian Pocobelli.
