The old era of ultra-free trade is fading. Even if specific US tariffs get adjusted, the average tariff level is still way above pre-Trump days, and nobody expects a sudden return to lower barriers. This session discusses the practical ways in which traders have adapted to the new normal 

  • Are traders going back to making longer-term decisions? 
  • Will tariff uncertainty deter investments in metals?
  • What market impact does this have on specific commodities?
