Metals &amp; Mining Companies Are Looking For Ways To Be More ESG-Friendly

PAN AFRICAN RESCES SP/ADR by Pan African Resources PLC

Pan African Resources PLC

Election polls continue to show a close race between Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris in key swing states with less than one month to go until the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/2024-election"> 2024 presidential election.</a>
What Happened: While Harris posted a lead in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/10/41241771/harris-vs-trump-vice-president-hits-record-lead-in-2024-election-poll-but-independent-voters-cou">most 2024 election polls</a> of national voters, swing state polls have been much closer.
A new Emerson College <a href="https://emersoncollegepolling.com/october-2024-state-polls-mixed-movement-across-swing-states-shows-dead-heat/">poll </a>of voters in seven key swing states shows a close race between the two candidates with Trump having the edge.
Here are the results, and the totals from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/09/40949853/harris-in-trouble-new-swing-state-poll-shows-trump-gains-ground-in-key-battleground-areas-for-20">the previous poll</a> in parentheses:
<ul>
<li>Arizona: Trump 49% (49%), Harris 47% (48%)</li>
<li>Georgia: Trump 49% (50%), Harris 48% (47%)</li>
<li>Michigan: Trump 49% (47%), Harris 49% (49%)</li>
<li>Nevada: Harris 48% (48%), Trump 47% (48%)</li>
<li>North Carolina: Trump 49% (48%), Harris 48% (49%)</li>
<li>Pennsylvania: Trump 49% (48%), Harris 48% (47%)</li>
<li>Wisconsin: Trump 49% (49%), Harris 49% (48%)</li>
</ul>
The polls show Trump leading in four of the seven states, Harris leading in one state and the two candidates tied in two states. The last Emerson College poll of the seven states had Trump leading in four states with Harris leading in two states. The August poll had each candidate leading three states.
In the latest poll, Trump gained support in three states, lost support in two states and saw the same support in two states. Harris gained support in three states, lost support in two states and saw the same support in two states.
"With just under four weeks to go, the race remains too close to call in key swing states, all within the margin of error," Emerson College Polling executive director Spencer Kimball said.

</ul>
Why It's Important: The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/swing-states">seven swing states</a> in question together represent 93 electoral votes in the 2024 election. Six of the seven states above were won by Biden in the 2020 election with Trump winning North Carolina. Several of the states were flipped from Trump's win in the 2016 election.
Harris has seen the number of swing states she led in or tied with Trump in decline in recent months, which could be bad news for the vice president.
With swing states playing a pivotal role in who wins the election, Harris will need to see support build in the election homestretch for election forecasters to give her a good chance to win the election.
Election polls aren't perfect and the fact the poll results are within its margin of error points to an incredibly close election too close to call.

Trump Vs. Harris: 2024 Election Swing State Poll 'Too Close To Call,' But This Candidate Leads

Artificial intelligence (AI) stocks are surging and the 2024 presidential election is shaping up to be one of the most contentious in history. But ask retail traders how it affects them and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/retail-traders">the response is, &#8220;meh.</a>&#8220;
What Happened: According to the latest survey from Public, an investing platform that prides itself on helping members build asset portfolios, most retail traders just aren&#8217;t <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-artificial-intelligence-stocks">excited by AI stocks</a>.
Never mind the fact that AI companies — Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), Super Micro Computer Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMCI#NASDAQ">SMCI</a>), Micron Technology (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MU#NASDAQ">MU</a>) — saw significant gains and outpaced broader market <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/top-stories/24/06/39383798/the-ai-big-10-10-ai-stocks-now-comprise-28-of-s-p-500-up-from-14-in-2023">indexes like the S&amp;P 500</a>.
Of the 1,300 responses Public <a href="https://public.com/research/2024-retail-investor-report">sourced</a> from investors, the firm determined:
<ul>
<li>35% say that new technology excites them.</li>
<li>30% have purchased a company stock because of their AI capabilities.</li>
<li>64% say AI will be a standard tool for research in the future.</li>
<li>50% are likely to use it to process financial information in the future.</li>
</ul>
The contentious presidential election between Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Vice President Kamala Harris doesn&#8217;t seem to faze investors, either.
&#8220;Many investors are indifferent to the election as it relates to the market or their own portfolio, but a number of investors purchased company stocks or traded options based on who they predict will win and how it will benefit their portfolio,&#8221; Public derived from the findings. 
Here&#8217;s a breakdown:
<ul>
<li>63% say no, the election does not impact their investing strategy.</li>
<li>37% say yes, it does impact their investing strategy.</li>
<li>16% of investors are buying more stocks or options of a company based on who they predict will win and the impact it will have on their portfolio.</li>
<li>13% are investing less in 2024 due to the election.</li>
<li>12% are investing more.</li>
</ul>
There is also a direct 50/50 split among investors saying that economic data from the Federal Reserve impacts their investing decisions with 50.4% of retail traders saying &#8220;yes&#8221; and 49.6% saying &#8220;no.&#8221;

Why It Matters: The ho-hum response toward the economy is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41049170/harris-vs-trump-55-cfos-believe-vice-president-likely-to-win-election-although-ex-president-is-bette">something that has plagued</a> the Biden-Harris administration for months, despite solid numbers.
As <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/election-day">Election Day draws near</a>, there is ongoing coverage of how the electorate views the economy and costs.
But here are the facts:
<ul>
<li>Annual inflation has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41272627/dow-falls-over-100-points-us-inflation-rate-slows-to-2-4-in-september">fallen to 2.4 percent</a>, its slowest pace since early 2021.</li>
<li>The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/10/41184080/us-economy-adds-254-000-new-jobs-in-september-smashes-expectations-unemployment-f">unemployment rate recently dropped</a> to 4.1%</li>
<li>With gains of 20.9%, the S&amp;P 500 year-to-date performance is up from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/24/10/41191050/s-p-500-to-end-year-over-6-000-34-of-benzinga-readers-predict-raging-bull-run">recent presidential election years</a>.</li>
<li>Consumer morale hit <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/09/40857449/consumer-morale-hits-4-month-high-inflation-expectations-ease-partisan-gaps-in-sentiment-inched-up">a four-month high</a> in September, driven by more spending and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/09/40812986/inflation-slows-to-2-5-in-august-lowest-rate-since-february-2021-core-index-remai">favorable price conditions</a>.</li>
</ul>
And regarding AI, automation continues to be a <a href="https://www.wsj.com/business/logistics/us-ports-automation-union-strike-f94bb4b7">major point of concern</a> to labor workers who fear replacement. In June, the Kobeissi Letter claimed the AI hype was &#8220;<a href="https://twitter.com/KobeissiLetter/status/1802793751120592960">stronger than ever</a>.&#8221; 
As for what retail traders care about when crafting their portfolios, Public ranked these responses: strong earnings, personal confidence in a company, leadership, transparent communication and familiarity with the brand. See chart below.

Retail Traders Unfazed By AI Hype, Most Say 2024 Election Is As Relevant To Portfolios As A Magic 8-Ball

As California's cannabis market expanded after legalization, several leading companies seemed poised for dominance. However, due to mismanagement, regulatory pressures and market saturation, many of these giants have collapsed. Here's a closer look at the industry's most notable failures.

You can't afford to miss out if you&#8217;re serious about the business.</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">MedMen: From Unicorn To Bankruptcy</h3>
MedMen, once celebrated as the &#8220;Apple Store of Weed,&#8221; reached a $2 billion valuation. However, rapid expansion, failed acquisitions, and leadership turnover created financial turmoil. By April 2024, MedMen had filed for bankruptcy with $411 million in liabilities.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Eaze: The Uber Of Weed Falls</h3>
Eaze, once California's largest cannabis delivery service, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/04/38282181/eaze-delivery-workers-threaten-first-cannabis-strike-of-2024-amid-ongoing-negotiations">defaulted </a>on a $36.9 million loan and was later acquired by billionaire James Henry Clark. Despite the change in ownership, Eaze could not recover from high operating costs, regulatory burdens and competition from unlicensed operators. 
The company will shut down by December 2024, leaving 500 employees without jobs. This failure underscores the harsh market conditions many cannabis businesses face.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">FlowKana: Bye Bye To The Sustainable Dream</h3>
FlowKana was a pioneer in promoting sustainability and small farmers, but it struggled with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/california-cannabis">California&#8217;s regulatory environment </a>and a market flooded with excess supply. Despite raising $175 million and becoming California's top-selling flower brand in 2018, the company couldn't survive the dramatic drop in wholesale cannabis prices.&nbsp;
FlowKana paid as low as $350 per pound for lower-grade flowers in 2019, far below sustainable levels. The company ceased operations in 2023, reflecting the challenges of balancing sustainability with profitability in a turbulent market.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Herbl: The Supply Chain Giant Stumbles</h3>
Herbl, once a major force in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/california-cannabis">California's cannabis distribution network</a>, handled approximately $700 million in annual sales and worked with over 1,000 licensed retailers. However, the company's collapse in 2024 was marked by severe liquidity problems and an inability to keep up with mounting unpaid invoices.&nbsp;
Facing a canceled line of credit from its primary lender, East West Bank, Herbl&#8217;s financial health rapidly <a href="https://mjbizdaily.com/big-california-marijuana-distributor-herbl-collapses-brands-left-unpaid/">deteriorated</a>, leading to millions of dollars owed to cannabis brands and the state in unpaid taxes.&nbsp;
The company laid off the majority of its workforce, leaving only a small team to manage collections from retailers, many of whom were also struggling to pay what they owed. Herbl's receivership underscores the fragility of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/california-cannabis">California's cannabis infrastructure</a>, where even the largest and seemingly best-established players cannot escape the pressures of overregulation, high taxes and an unpredictable market

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">A Wake-Up Call</h3>
These high-profile failures reveal the volatility of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/california-cannabis">California's cannabis market</a>. Overregulation, high taxes and competition from illicit operators have strained even the biggest companies. The collapse of MedMen, Eaze, FlowKana and Herbl has left thousands of people jobless, and the cannabis sector grapples with the need for reform to prevent further losses.

Epic Cannabis Fails You Should Know About: MedMen, Eaze And Others Go Down In California Meltdowns

Toronto-Dominion Bank (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TD#NYSE">TD</a>) agreed to pay approximately $3.09 billion in fines to U.S. authorities after pleading guilty on Thursday to money laundering-related charges in an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/10/41271816/td-bank-to-face-3b-penalty-growth-limits-in-us-settlement-over-anti-money-laundering-failures">ongoing case</a> brought by federal prosecutors, who accused the Canadian bank of essentially making it easy for criminals and cartels to move money around the world for nearly a decade.
"By making its services convenient for criminals, TD Bank became one," said Attorney General Merrick B. Garland on Thursday. "Today, TD Bank also became the largest bank in U.S. history to plead guilty to Bank Secrecy Act program failures, and the first U.S. bank in history to plead guilty to conspiracy to commit money laundering."  
The penalties are the largest ever imposed by U.S. authorities on a bank for money laundering violations.

Referring to court documents from between January 2014 and October 2023, the Justice Department's Office of Public Affairs <a href="https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/td-bank-pleads-guilty-bank-secrecy-act-and-money-laundering-conspiracy-violations-18b">stated, </a>"TD Bank had long-term, pervasive, and systemic deficiencies in its U.S. AML policies, procedures and controls but failed to take appropriate remedial action."
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Employees Involved?</h1>
Federal prosecutors also said some of the bank's employees had enabled the money laundering the bank was slow to detect and address.
"TD Bank's persistent prioritization of growth over controls allowed its employees to break the law and facilitate the laundering of hundreds of millions of dollars," stated Michael J. Hsu, the acting Comptroller of the Currency, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/10/business/td-bank-fine.html">reported</a> the New York Times.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Rare But Stern Response: Asset Cap</h1>
The Office of the Comptroller imposed an asset cap that will prevent TD Bank from growing beyond its current $370 billion in assets and curbing its growth in a key market. This marks the first such restriction on a major bank since Wells Fargo in 2018. &nbsp;
"The imposition of an asset cap will ensure that the bank focuses on building proper controls commensurate with its risk profile," Hsu said.
The TD Bank Group, Canada's second-largest bank, has over 1,000 branches in the U.S.&nbsp;
"The bank is also pleading guilty to criminal charges brought by law enforcement authorities," <a href="https://www.federalreserve.gov/newsevents/pressreleases/enforcement20241010a.htm">noted</a> the Federal Reserve in a press release. "The Board&#8217;s action will help ensure that TD operates in compliance with all U.S. laws and regulations."

TD Bank Pays $3B Fine After Pleading Guilty In Money Laundering Case, 'Making Its Services Convenient For Criminals'

A Major League Baseball team is up for sale and while billionaire Warren Buffett likely isn't buying the team, he could benefit thanks to a small stake<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/23/11/35837148/warren-buffett-finds-sweet-spot-hits-home-run-with-stake-in-major-league-baseball-team"> in another team.</a>
What Happened: The sale of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/mlb">Major League Baseball </a>(MLB) teams has been rare in recent years, which means a new sale could reset the valuation metrics of teams, an item that shareholders of Atlanta Braves Holdings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BATRA#NASDAQ">BATRA</a>)(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BATRK#NASDAQ">BATRK</a>) will be watching.
The Pohlad Family, which has owned the Minnesota Twins since 1984, announced Thursday that the team is up for sale.
Carl Pohlad, who passed away in 2009, bought the Twins for $44 million in 1984, as reported by <a href="https://www.sportico.com/business/team-sales/2024/minnesota-twins-for-sale-pohlad-family-1234800592/">Sportico</a>. His children Jim, Bob and Bill inherited the team upon his death. Jim Pohlad currently serves as the team's controlling owner.
"After months of thoughtful consideration, our family reached a decision this summer to explore selling the Twins. As we enter the next phase of this process, the time is right to make this decision public," the team said.
The Twins won World Series titles in 1987 and 1991 as the Twins and the franchise previously won a title as the Washington Senators in 1924, prior to moving to Minnesota in 1961.
The team has made the MLB Playoffs in four of the past 10 years, winning only one playoff series over the same time period.
The Twins narrowly missed making the playoffs in 2024 with an 82-80 record. General Manager Thad Levine announced he was leaving after eight years with the team. Manager Rocco Baldelli is slated to return for a seventh season in 2025. One plus for the Twins is having managerial stability with only four managers over the last 38 years.
A negative for the team and a potential new owner will be trying to improve television revenue. A deal with Bally Sports North expired after the 2023 season and Diamond Sports Group paid a reduced rate to have Twins games in 2024. The league announced they will take over production and distribution of Twins games and negotiate future deals.
You may not be a billionaire like Warren Buffett, but you can uncover hidden gems in the stock market using our proprietary data and pattern recognition — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/10/41187322/benzingas-stock-whisper-index-5-stocks-investors-secretly-monitor-but-dont-talk-about-yet">check out five stocks flying under the radar that deserve your attention.</a>
Why It's Important: Ownership of baseball teams like many professional sports teams is often reserved for the wealthiest people.
Baseball has a history of corporations owning teams, a rule that it no longer allows other than the Toronto Blue Jays, owned by Rogers Communications (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RCI#NYSE">RCI</a>), who are grandfathered in.
Previously, other MLB teams had corporate owners, which included:
<ul>
<li>St. Louis Cardinals: Anheuser-Busch</li>
<li>Chicago Cubs: Tribune Company</li>
<li>New York Yankees: CBS</li>
<li>Seattle Mariners: Nintendo</li>
<li>Los Angeles Angels: Disney</li>
</ul>
Private equity companies can own minority stakes in MLB teams but can't own a team outright. MLB has allowed private equity investments for years, while the NFL is just now<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/24/08/40607642/jeff-bezos-could-have-competition-if-he-wants-the-nfls-seattle-seahawks-private-equity-investments"> coming around to the practice</a> to help improve investment opportunities for team owners.
The Twins are valued at $1.7 billion by <a href="https://www.sportico.com/feature/mlb-team-values-rankings-list-1234715821/">Sportico</a>, ranking 19th of 30 MLB teams. Here are the most recent MLB team sales:
<ul>
<li>2024: Baltimore Orioles, $1.725 billion</li>
<li>2020: New York Mets, $2.42 billion</li>
<li>2019: Kansas City Royals, $1 billion</li>
<li>2017: Miami Marlins, $1.2 billion</li>
<li>2016: Seattle Mariners, $1.4 billion</li>
<li>2012: Los Angeles Dodgers, $2.15 billion</li>
</ul>
The Washington Nationals and Los Angeles Angels hired bankers for potential sales but did not end up selling the teams.
The low number of recent sales could put the Twins in demand with sports ownership often viewed as a strong investment opportunity.
This could be great news for the Atlanta Braves, which are valued at $3.4 billion, ranking sixth by Sportico.
The Braves holding company, which is publicly traded, has a market capitalization of $2.5 billion and enterprise value of $3.1 billion. While the team already trades under the Sportico valuation, the sale of the Twins at a premium to the valuation, it could see other MLB teams rise in the rankings.
Buffett owns a small stake (233,645 shares) in the publicly traded Braves via Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>)(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) and has a love for the game of baseball. The billionaire previously owned a stake in a minor league baseball team and had interest in buying the Chicago Cubs.
BATRA Price Action: Atlanta Braves Holdings stock closed Thursday at $41.57 versus a 52-week trading range of $36.78 to $46.65. The stock is down 1.1% year-to-date in 2024.

If approved, this <a href="https://sacramento.granicus.com/MetaViewer.php?view_id=25&amp;clip_id=6047&amp;meta_id=795533">pilot program</a> would introduce consumption lounges, giving residents a safe and social space to enjoy cannabis legally in the capital city of California.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Consumption Lounge</h3>
The proposal, led by Councilmember Katie Valenzuela, would allow two types of cannabis lounges. 
The first would focus on the sale and consumption of cannabis-infused edibles and drinks, providing a more discreet option for those looking to avoid smoking.
The second would permit smoking on site with strict safety measures in place. Valenzuela has championed this initiative for two years, contending it would create a controlled environment for cannabis users to learn and engage with the product safely. "If you have kids at home, you can keep it completely away from them. It never comes into the house," she said in an <a href="https://www.abc10.com/article/news/local/sacramento-cannabis-lounges/103-cab4aee7-b84f-412b-a5c7-869e3b6c693d">interview</a> with ABC10.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Positive Signs From Previous Trials</h3>
Sacramento has already tested the concept of on-site consumption at the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/07/39782466/californias-first-cannabis-friendly-state-fair-with-on-site-sales-and-consumption">State Fair </a>earlier this year.
The event allowed cannabis users to consume in a designated area, providing a glimpse of what future consumption lounges could look like.
Valenzuela says these lounges could position Sacramento as a leader in cannabis culture in the region.
"There were dozens and dozens of people there from all walks of life mingling and hanging&#8230;I could just get a picture of what this experience looked like," she said.
Maisha Bahati, CEO of Crystal Nugs, is among those preparing for the potential legalization of on-site consumption. Her dispensary already has a dedicated space for social events, from live music to game nights, once the lounges are approved. "You're going to be around like-minded people…just a normal place where people can come and can consume cannabis," she <a href="https://www.abc10.com/article/news/local/sacramento-cannabis-lounges/103-cab4aee7-b84f-412b-a5c7-869e3b6c693d">told</a> ABC10.
Two more hearings will take place before the proposal moves forward. A final vote is expected by the end of October.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Shifting Califonia Cannabis Landscape</h3>
California's recent&nbsp;initiatives regarding cannabis include <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/08/40666298/will-california-embrace-cannabis-farmers-markets-and-pot-cafes-gov-newsoms-crucial-decision-ahea">farmer&#8217;s markets</a> and <a>Amsterdam-style&nbsp;cannabis&nbsp;cafes</a>. These proposals aim to alleviate the challenges facing the state&#8217;s cannabis industry.
High taxes, low prices and competition from unlicensed markets have pressured legal businesses into a downturn. In response, lawmakers are exploring solutions to stabilize the sector. Allowing small growers to sell directly and creating social consumption spaces are two possible steps.
Meanwhile, some companies have been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/08/40465710/why-are-so-many-california-cannabis-companies-switching-to-hemp-products">shifting to hemp</a> to avoid heavy regulatory burdens.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy JTAI Stock</h1>
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share — or fractional share — of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument.
For example, in Jet AI's case, it is in the Industrials sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.
JTAI Price Action: According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw">Benzinga Pro</a>, Jet.AI shares are up 8.57% after-hours at 8 cents after falling 11.77% in regular trading Thursday.

The following post was written and/or published as a collaboration between Benzinga&rsquo;s in-house sponsored content team and a financial partner of Benzinga.

Around the world, companies in the metals and mining sector are expanding and changing the way the industry operates. Larger companies are implementing ESG initiatives in their business plans making way for more green and sustainable practices.

These include companies like Lake Resources (OTCQB:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLKKF#OTCQB">LLKKF</a>) a clean lithium developer that has partnered with Lilac Solutions, a firm <a href="http://www.otcmarkets.com/financialReportViewer?symbol=LLKKF&amp;id=269010" target="_blank">backed</a> by Bill Gates&rsquo; Breakthrough Energy Fund and M.I.T.&rsquo;s The Engine fund. Another such company is Pan African Resources (OTCQX:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PAFRY#OTCQX">PAFRY</a>, PAFRF)), who recently partnered with juwi Renewable Energy to build a 9.975 solar photovoltaic plant. The company <a href="https://www.news24.com/fin24/companies/mining/gold-producer-pan-african-resources-to-invest-r140m-in-solar-plant-for-mining-site-20201215" target="_blank">said that</a> the plant would cut carbon emissions of its Elikhulu tailing treatment plant by more than 26,000 tons in its first year.

Looking at the performance of the market, metals are a historically volatile industry. As of <a href="https://www.msci.com/documents/10199/fb6ddbdf-8df3-4fdf-96b4-e578e2ac776c" target="_blank">January 29, 2021</a>, the MSCI World Metals and Mining Index &mdash; composed of large and mid-cap stocks across 23 Developed Markets countries &mdash; is down 0.83% year-to-date. Although, the index rose 31.56% over the last year.&nbsp;

Gabriel Alonso-Mendoza, a Managing Partner at Amvest Capital, believes we are currently at the beginning of a new bull market in the Basic Materials Sector.&nbsp;

&ldquo;A lot of it has to do with the policy initiatives that are currently in place, which are stimulating the economy and creating demand for certain commodities,&rdquo; he said.&nbsp;

Additional light on the industry will be shed at <a href="https://www.virtualinvestorconferences.com/events/event-details/global-metals-and-mining-investor-conference-sponsor" target="_blank">Global Metals &amp; Mining Virtual Investor Conference</a>, a Virtual Investor Conference by OTC Markets.
