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.

Zinc Price Surges Beyond $4,000 – The Perfect Storm Shakes the Global Metals Market SO OK TRADING | September 9, 2026 September 2026 marks a turning point in the global metals market as zinc prices break through the $4,000 per metric ton threshold, reaching a new four-year high of $4,156 on the London Metal Exchange (LME). This dramatic surge reflects severe supply-side disruptions, which analysts worldwide have dubbed a “Perfect Storm” — a combination of China’s power curbs, smelter production cuts, and critically low zinc inventories that have pushed the market into acute shortage. This rapid price escalation not only highlights strong buying pressure in the global market but also directly impacts downstream industries in Thailand. Key sectors such as galvanized steel, automotive, and electronics manufacturing are now facing significantly higher production costs in line with global market dynamics. As a trusted partner in the non-ferrous metals business, SO OK TRADING provides in-depth analysis of this situation, offering insights and strategies to help Thai enterprises plan procurement and manage risks effectively.
