Industrial & Precious Metals Outlook A Week of Pressure from FED (High Probability of Rate Hike) and Strong Dollar | 14–18 September 2026 | SO OK TRADING Introduction This week, the industrial and precious metals markets are entering a phase of high volatility, driven by macroeconomic pressures. The key factors are the anticipated interest rate hike by the U.S. Federal Reserve (FED) and the strengthening U.S. dollar, both of which directly impact global commodity prices. At the same time, the market continues to be supported by structural demand from modern industries such as Electric Vehicles (EV), Data Centers, Renewable Energy, and China’s large-scale power grid projects. These forces help prevent a sharp decline in prices despite external pressures. Overall, major metals such as Copper, Aluminium, Zinc, and Tin remain in high trading ranges, supported by historically low stock levels. Meanwhile, Gold and Silver continue to move within narrow bands under the weight of interest rate expectations and dollar strength. Key Trends This Week

Copper & Aluminium: Strategic Metals Shaping the Future of Thailand’s Industry SO OK TRADING | 11 September 2026 Thailand is entering a new industrial era powered by clean energy and advanced technologies. At the heart of this transformation, copper and aluminium have become indispensable strategic metals. Together, their demand exceeds 1.3 million tons per year, spanning across key sectors such as manufacturing, electric vehicles (EVs), construction, electronics, and sustainable packaging. Although Thailand lacks domestic raw ore and primary smelting facilities, the nation’s strength lies in its import integration, processing capabilities, and efficient recycling systems, positioning Thailand as a vital hub for the non-ferrous metals market in ASEAN. In the coming decade, copper will be elevated as a “Strategic Metal”, driving smart energy systems and digital infrastructure. Aluminium, meanwhile, will thrive as a “Metal of Sustainability”, supporting the Circular Economy and reducing carbon footprints. SO OK TRADING stands as your trusted partner, delivering high-quality metals to build a stronger, more sustainable, and globally competitive future for Thailand’s industry. ✨ SO OK TRADING — FAST • SHARP • RELIABLE

During the week of September 7–11, 2026, the global economy remained in a state of being both heated and fragile. Prolonged conflict in the Middle East, soaring energy prices, and geopolitical uncertainties continued to disrupt global supply chains. Yet, on the other hand, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a crucial driving force, helping sustain global growth in remarkable ways. According to the IMF, world GDP in 2026 is still projected to grow by 3.0%, despite mounting pressures from high energy costs and rising public debt. Businesses worldwide are adapting to the era of the AI-Driven Economy, which has become the new engine of investment and production. In this article, SO OK TRADING presents a comprehensive overview of the global economy for the week, covering developments in the United States, China, Europe, and the Middle East.

“The Future of EV Industry 2026 ⚡ Strategic Transition & The Role of Non-Ferrous Metals” By SO OK TRADING — September 9, 2026 2026 marks a pivotal turning point for the global and Thai electric vehicle (EV) industry. After years of rapid growth, the market is entering a “strategic adjustment phase” defined by intense price competition, localization of production, and mounting geopolitical pressures. At the same time, Non-Ferrous Metals — Lithium, Nickel, Copper, Aluminium, and Cobalt — have become the backbone of EV manufacturing. Each EV requires 3–6 times more minerals than a traditional internal combustion engine vehicle, making these resources critical to the industry’s future. Globally, the EV market is shifting toward the Mass Market, driven by affordable EV models and the commercialization of Solid-State Batteries. In Thailand, the transition to domestic production (CKD) under the 30@30 policy is accelerating, with annual BEV registrations projected to exceed 125,000 units. Non-Ferrous Metals are no longer just raw materials — they are the “new economic engine” linking the automotive industry to clean energy and the circular economy.

2026 marks a true “turning point for scrap metals” — especially in the global market for aluminum recycling and remelting (Remelt Aluminum), which has become one of the hottest sectors in decades. “Aluminum scrap” is no longer just leftover material; it has evolved into a strategic resource that nations fiercely compete for to secure industrial and environmental stability. Remelt has been elevated beyond conventional recycling, becoming the core of the circular economy and a critical driver in achieving Net Zero goals. With the ability to save up to 95% of energy compared to primary aluminum production and drastically reduce carbon footprints, Remelt has become the “lifeline” of global industries in an era where Europe’s CBAM (Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism) is being strictly enforced. This year, SO OK TRADING, as a leading non-ferrous metals trader from Thailand, presents a comprehensive outlook on both global and ASEAN markets — highlighting how scrap and aluminum recycling are reshaping the industrial landscape worldwide.
