A MUST-READ 

For readers navigating the energy transition: a clear, authoritative guide to metals, mining, and financial markets.

Drawing on four decades of experience across commodity booms, busts, and regime shifts, the book integrates:

• Commodity fundamentals with macroeconomic and monetary cycles

• Mining project realities with financial market expectations

• Volatility and liquidity dynamics with risk management and positioning

• Investor psychology with the recurring animal spirits that dominate every cycle

Rather than forecasting prices, the framework teaches readers how to read markets. When signals align, when narratives detach from reality, and when risk is asymmetric, either dangerously high or unusually favourable.

For executives, investors, and analysts operating in the energy transition, The Art of Markets: MINING is not a call to optimism or pessimism. It is a guide to discipline. It explains why supply shortages persist despite high prices, why capital deserts the sector at precisely the wrong time, and why the biggest opportunities often emerge when confidence is lowest and volatility is highest.

Having authored The Art of Markets (2019), with a Global Markets trading background and providing a ‘voice’ for sustainability for decades, it is very clear that decarbonising the metals industry is not only a technological challenge; it is a behavioural and strategic one.

Decarbonisation and the supply of transition metals are locked in a complex, self-reinforcing loop – a perfect example of The Art of Markets entangled system, where price, fundamentals, positioning, confidence and narrative compete to determine outcomes.

Transition metals are indispensable to clean-energy infrastructure, yet the act of producing them is among the most carbon-intensive industrial processes in the world. This duality creates one of the defining market challenges of the next several decades: the race to decarbonise the very materials required for decarbonisation.

Each metal has its own behavioural ecosystem. Clean-energy technologies require these materials simultaneously, creating multi-variable entanglement – a system where price and scarcity in one metal can alter the competitive dynamics of another.

These markets can be seen as living entangled systems – complex networks of competing animal spirits, shifting narratives, liquidity dislocations, behavioural impulses, institutional positioning and reflexive feedback loops. These forces collide not in isolation but in time, price, market structure and size. Understanding the market requires understanding their entanglement.

An opportunity window in one market often creates ripples elsewhere. Alpha returns emerge from understanding these market entanglements. Observing connections, not just in individual markets, allows anticipation of secondary opportunity windows that others overlook.

Utilising the assistance of artificial intelligence (AI), The Art of Markets MINING, is drafted to provide insight into a unique and powerful trading lens for the mining industry.

A MUST-READ 

For readers navigating the energy transition: a clear, authoritative guide to metals, mining, and financial markets.

• Institutional investors and portfolio managers allocating capital across commodities, mining equities, and energy-transition themes

• Commodity traders and risk managers navigating volatility in metals, currencies, and global liquidity cycles

• Mining executives and corporate strategists responsible for capital allocation, project timing, and balance-sheet risk

• Energy-transition investors seeking a reality-based framework for supply constraints, cost inflation, and geopolitical risk

• Macro analysts and policymakers assessing how metals, decarbonisation policy, and financial markets interact

• Sophisticated private investors and family offices looking to move beyond narratives into disciplined market frameworks

Mining investment requires different timing, sizing and patience than most asset classes. Mining typically has produced strong returns in short, violent opportunity windows, separated by long periods of capital attrition.
