Re: The Tungsten Market Is Warning of an Upcoming War
#2Tungsten prices are already quite easily explained by China restricting exports and reducing production, existing wars consuming munitions, and Western governments rebuilding stockpiles. There's no need to point to some ominous new conflict. We've got more than enough.
All in all, some very weak evidence on show here, such as pointing to Tasmania’s Dolphin mine reopening as a supposed signal. It did not suddenly reopen because some spooky insiders sensed an imminent war. The mine's redevelopment was financed in 2021 and commercial production began in 2023, which was itself responding to Chinese supply concentration and the favourable economic situation at the time.

It is not China who starts wars all over the globe, it is you.
Sorry, it feels so obvious. But somehow needs to be repeated every time.
(And if China will start a war, it would be because you tried too much to undo the former status quo; Taiwan, according to UN, is China.)

He-he.. Can you even roughly compare the scale, the violence, lack of any connection to the places bombed besides GREED?
Of course not, and you know that.
