Space deterrence is the strategic effort to prevent hostile actions in outer space by convincing potential adversaries that the costs of aggression will outweigh any benefits. It borrows principles from traditional military deterrence but applies them to the unique domain advantages of space, where satellites, space stations, and other orbital assets play critical roles in […]| Earth-i
Global nickel smelting activity fell for the second consecutive month in July according to data from Earth-i’s SAVANT Global Smelting Monitoring Index, driven by continuing weakness in Indonesia and further corroborating the tough market conditions faced by operators. Indeed, nickel pig iron (NPI) operations in the SE Asian archipelago recorded their highest level of inactivity […]| Earth-i
Earth-i’s latest monthly analysis of the global copper market shows that smelting activity increased in July as an average of 13.6% of global capacity was inactive, a fall of 0.4% from the prior month. In a reversal of the recent trend, it was strength in smelting activity in the Rest of World (RoW), which rose […]| Earth-i

But maybe the point here is […]| Earth-i
Global nickel smelting activity fell for the first time in four months in June according to data from Earth-i’s SAVANT metals monitoring platform with the global inactive capacity index rising 3.5% to 15.9%. While inactivity climbed across all classes of metal, the most important contributing factor was the increase at NPI operations in Indonesia which […]| Earth-i
