Traders and banks make deals with Russian metals despite taboos
💥 💥 💥 💥 💥 💥 💥 💥
Several Western banks and traders, from Citigroup Inc. to Trafigura Group, are increasingly eager to strike new deals with Russian metals, seizing opportunities to profit while competitors hold back.
According to the head of one of the trading houses who spoke privately, deals on Russian supplies are one of the few areas where solid profits can be made.
Among trading companies, Trafigura is actively seeking new deals to buy and sell Russian metal in a bid to beat rival Glencore Plc, which has said it won’t do new business with Russia, Bloomberg reported, citing anonymous sources.
And at the London Metal Exchange, financial firms including Citi and Squarepoint Capital LLP are buying large volumes of Russian aluminum, which currently dominates the exchange’s stockpiles.
Thus, in addition to sharply increased metal exports to Asia, Russian companies are gradually gaining new opportunities to export metals to the West as well.

This is the most important Colume on the Tres Clock “US TRESURY DOLLARS 2025”. When you click on the red, white & blue box you will get a pop-up for NON-Interest-Bearing Money that indicates REAL Wealth Based Debt Free Currency Back by Gold. This in only what is showing on the books currently. It’s much, much larger when GDP and BRICS is calculated in. They are telling us what is coming…just like Lincoln & Kennedy did outside of the London bankers and NON FED BANKS (NO CENTRAL BANKERS) can touch it.

Russia becomes UAE’s main gold source
The United Arab Emirates relied heavily on Russia as its primary source of gold in 2022, importing 96.4 tons. This quantity accounted for approximately one-third of Russia’s annual gold production and represented a remarkable increase of over 15 times compared to 2021.
Traditionally, the UAE has been a crucial hub for trading precious metals, particularly those originating from Africa and India. However, it was only last year that the country emerged as a significant player in the Russian gold trade.
With Western sanctions limiting Russia’s conventional export channels, mining companies in the country were compelled to seek alternative avenues for selling their gold. Consequently, Dubai, Istanbul, and Hong Kong emerged as key centers for Russian gold trade, as reported by Bloomberg.
In addition to Russia, Mali and Ghana also served as major gold suppliers to the UAE, providing 95.7 tons and 81 tons, respectively.
Meanwhile, Switzerland emerged as the predominant destination for Arab gold exports, receiving a substantial amount of 145 tons.

🇨🇳 No more Chinese metals for the West
China’s exports of germanium and gallium fell sharply in August, according to customs data showed on Wednesday, after Beijing imposed new controls on exports of the two metals used for chip production.
China exported no wrought germanium products last month, down from 8.63 metric tons in July, when shipments more than doubled year-on-year, as overseas buyers rushed to lock in shipments ahead of the restrictions.
There were also no exports of wrought gallium products in August. In July, exports were 5.15 tons and 7.67 tons in the same month in 2022, the data showed.
In July, China announced export restrictions on eight gallium and six germanium products, which came into effect on August 1.
This is the latest step in an escalating standoff between Beijing and Washington over access to materials used in the production of high-tech microchips.
Meanwhile, the chart by FT shows just how big a role China plays in the production and processing of rare earth metals.
