Future perspective about commodities from Top CEO

The Eurozone crisis continues to impact global economic growth, market confidence and as a result the demand and prices of commodities. It has been more than six months since the Eurozone leaders agreed on measures to stem the collapse of member economies, however, despite intervention, concerns around the stability of the Eurozone are again increasing. In China we have continued to see evidence of a faster than anticipated economic slow-down while in the US, economic recovery has been below expectations. No one is able to say with certainty how protracted this situation will be, however for the short to medium term we expect downside risk to commodity demand and price volatility to remain.
