Simon notes that global trust is rapidly disintegrating, and often that trust is replaced by war. The Western economies are quite likely to plane line or acquire into into recession by the cease of the year. Central Banks are more fearful of recession trends than inflation. In the cease, their choice is either hyperinflation or recession. This winter we will see huge nutrient inflation, driven both by policy and environmental problems. The world is going to have got moderate growth, but inflation will be persistent across everything. It is human nature to stock up when prices are rising, which will exacerbate supply problems.
Russia has determined that the West will not listen to their concerns. Therefore, they are taking steps to ensure their own survival. The Worldwide policy is clearly to control and collapse strange economies. The BRICS nations have got been trying to create alternatives to the West’s systems. Simon is concerned with how Worldwide will respond when alternative currencies appear. Saudi Arabia has announced their intention to join the BRICS.
Putin has recently stated, “The economic system of mythical entities is inevitably being replaced with one of real value and assets.”
The pivot from the dollar has been in place for some time. Fed policy is only going to accelerate the process. By the middle of 2023 we will probably see a big autumn in the dollar index. This will hap when Russia, China and others start operating with a new currency.
Commodities under a new BRICS currency system will be used as a benchmark, and this will include atomic number 79.
Tensions are likely to continue to worsen between China and the United States. When empires historically neglect they are left with one option which is war. The U.S. is militarizing countries around China, including Taiwan. They are openly calling for Taiwan’s independence. China wants to avoid war, as the next authorities in Taiwan is likely to move closer to China.
Simon discusses commodities and where copper will likely caput over the next couple of years. The LME has become very much a Online Casino South Africa. He believes volatility will continue across all commodities. Managing and hedging that volatility will be crucial.

Simon Hunt began his career in 1956 in Central Africa as a PA to the Chairman of Rhodesian Selection Trust, one of the two large copper companies in what was then Northern Rhodesia, now Zambia.
In 1961, he came back to London and joined Anglo Worldwide Corporation of South Africa as a PA to one of the Board Directors, followed by being part of a small sales and marketing team for copper. From there, he helped start up a new copper evolution organization, CIDEC, financed by copper producers, which he then joined, focusing on conducting cease-use studies of copper in Europe.
He then went into the City to gain financial experience and founded Brook Hunt in 1975. He was instrumental in setting up the company’s cost studies and cease-use analyses. Simon appeared as material witness and consultant in two ITC anti-dumping cases in 1978 and 1984, winning both at the commission level.
He has spent 2-4 months every year in China since 1993, and until a few years ago would be visiting some 80 wire and cable and brass mill factories across the country every year. He now restricts these manufactory visits to a smaller number, all of which he has known for many years. Simon also spends many weeks each year traveling around Asia.
The focus of the company’s services is on the global economic system, including the changing geopolitical and financial structures, China’s economic system and its copper sector, and then the global copper industry as each part is interconnected.
Simon is the author of the “Frontline China Report Service,” which is marketed by the TIS grouping. The Service provides regular reports on China’s economic system, politics, and financial outlook.
Simon established this company in January 1996.
