Russell Robertson, chief business development officer at @abaxx_exchange , highlighted the interest in critical minerals, particularly in lithium carbonate which is offered as an internationally delivered contract on Abaxx and is benchmarked in China on the Guangzhou Futures Exchange.
“While the China Securities Regulatory Commission is internalising products, the biggest challenge remains how to move dollars around and whether international participants want to use the RMB,” he said.
With the Middle East conflict, there has been continued disruption in price discovery for oil, energy and critical minerals.
“Coupled with rising commodity consumption, investors will buy at a price that’s relevant,” he said. “China has the opportunity to become a controller in price, especially given the change in commodity flow and pricing where buyers are looking more towards the East for price discovery.”

That's a wrap on #APPEC2026!
Thank you to our partners, clients & colleagues for bringing such depth to this year's reception discussions on the forces shaping global commodities—and how smarter markets can drive resilience amid market complexity.
See you next year!

We started @Smarter_Markets to put a spotlight on issues surrounding trust, identity, market infrastructure and technology that we believe are important, and to see if there were others out there who felt the same way.
It turns out there were a lot of people who felt the same way.
Our very first episode was a conversation 6 years ago with @robert_ivanhoe. He returned yesterday for our 300th, and at the end of his conversation with @DavidVGreely, added a postscript reflecting on Abaxx’s journey since that initial interview in November 2020.
Thank you to Robert, and all of our Abaxx shareholders, for the continued support as we spend each day building smarter markets for the global supply chain transformation and the transition to an AI-augmented economy (and weekends bringing you more SmarterMarkets).
"Want to build a data center? Copper.
Want to go to the moon? Copper.
Want air conditioning, a microwave, or an electric toothbrush? Copper.
Want a computer? Internet? Ever use a phone? It's copper."
On the very first episode of SmarterMarkets™, @Robert_Ivanhoe shared why copper will be the winning commodity in the coming years.
Now, 6 years later, he returns for our 300th episode to tell us what mining, tech, governments, and markets are doing – and need to be doing – in a week when LME copper prices hit a new record high.

This week, we welcomed teams from Yongan Futures, Zhejiang Yongan Capital Management, and Yongan International Financial (Singapore) to our Singapore headquarters.
Yongan Singapore brings the established regional client network of one of mainland China’s top-ranked futures groups to its role as a clearing and trading member, connecting commercial hedgers and institutional clients across Hong Kong and Asia with Abaxx’s markets.
As China’s commodity markets become increasingly accessible to international participants, new opportunities are emerging for cross-market arbitrage and hedging, including gold, lithium carbonate and LNG.
