Another installment of Feel Good Friday. This is just about one company, but I’m excited for many reasons: it is part of a larger trend seeing more capital investment from companies which shows (to some degree) their optimism in the future, the fact that Nucor is a provider of materials to so many other industries I see their actions as forward-looking indicator of what is likely to come in other sectors. #feelgood #happyfriday #manufacturing #supplychain #capitalinvestment

OMG! Have you just found out some mind-blowing news? The shipping costs from China to Europe are going absolutely berserk, skyrocketing at the speed of light! Listen up folks, currently the fee for a single shipping container has soared to the insane price of $5,000, and there are even rumors that in June this number could blast through the $6,000 ceiling! Can you even fathom that? At the beginning of the year, this very cost was only $2,000 or so. This is basically a freight bomb decimating all our beautiful dreams of continuously falling panel prices. You heard it right, this blatant cost increase will very soon be reflected in the selling prices of products. So, my dearest friends, I implore you not to wait any longer. Our current pricing system is still maintaining the previous levels, but this situation won't last forever. Now is the prime opportunity, hurry up and pick out the products you desire, don't hesitate anymore! #freightcost #solarpanel #solarprice #hotseason

With ocean freight rates skyrocketing, it would be the best to reserve EU stock in advance.

I recently worked with some of the talented price reporting team here at Fastmarkets to create this dedicated content hub on low-carbon aluminium as part of our #criticalminerals coverage. You can follow discussions around #decarbonizing the #aluminium industry with the latest price trends, market insights and forecasts. Fastmarkets spearheaded #green aluminium pricing with its launch of low-carbon aluminium differentials in March 2021. Today, Fastmarkets has low-carbon aluminium differentials for Europe, the US and Asia.

If you import batteries to the EU, you'd better know Battery Regulation 2023/1542. It’s going to radically change the import and sales regulations on batteries in Europe, affecting everything from aluminum mining to QR codes on packaging. In brief: In 2025, you’re going to need to complete supply chain due diligence and extended producer responsibility and registration obligations. By February 2027, your batteries need to be replaceable (in certain contexts) and have a digital battery passport (we’re working on that one with the Global Battery Alliance!). And on New Years’ Eve 2027, you'll need a plan to recover the material in your batteries. Of course, that’s just the basics.
