Non-Ferrous Scrap: From “Waste” to “Strategic Resource” Non-Ferrous Scrap is rapidly transforming from “industrial waste” into a strategic resource. Nations worldwide are competing to secure this material to drive the Circular Economy and achieve Net Zero Carbon by 2050. The demand for copper and aluminum is surging at unprecedented levels, fueled by the growth of EVs, Energy Storage Systems (ESS), and AI Data Centers — positioning scrap as a critical backbone of the new industrial era. Thailand, as the ASEAN supply chain hub, holds immense opportunities. By upgrading sorting standards and certification systems, the country can rise as a leader in Green Industry and Circular Economy.

Global Non-Ferrous Metals Price Outlook (September 21–25, 2026) Market Overview with Ceiling–Average–Floor Forecasts Article by SO OK TRADING | September 20, 2026 Introduction The global non-ferrous metals market this week continues to face pressure from major macroeconomic factors, particularly the interest rate hikes by the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) and Gulf States. These moves have strengthened the U.S. dollar, exerting short-term downward pressure on commodity prices. However, supply tightness across key metals remains a critical support, preventing prices from breaking below major support levels. Market Outlook The London Metal Exchange (LME) is currently in a “Consolidation to Rebound” phase. While prices were pressured in mid-September, strong physical demand helped them recover by the end of last week. Copper and Zinc, in particular, are supported by supply disruptions, keeping prices elevated. SO OK TRADING’s Perspective Toward the end of September, the non-ferrous metals market is expected to remain range-bound but shows potential for medium-term recovery. Metals with tight supply conditions—Copper, Aluminium, and Zinc—will remain the key focus. For procurement teams in Thailand, adopting hedging strategies and term contracts is recommended to mitigate price volatility. Monitoring external factors such as the U.S. dollar’s trajectory and China’s economic indicators (PMI) will be essential in gauging real demand trends across Asia.

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

“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.
