Steven Barnett, Chief Representative of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in China said that China has made substantial progress in promoting the internationalization of the RMB. We've seen the yuan being used for trade settlements, or as a means of cross-border financial transactions. The use of all of these is increasing, and we're seeing its share grow, both in the renminbi and in international reserve assets. As China continues to open up to the outside world, we expect RMB internationalization to continue to move forward. It may not be a linear process, and there will be ups and downs ahead, but the direction is clear, and China's role and the global economy will continue to grow. I think at the same time, traders and investors around the world want to use the renminbi.

【SMM News Flash】Glencore, one of the world's largest mining and commodity trading groups, is expected to prioritize the development of its copper production operations in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) in 2026 and adjust its production plans accordingly. As export restrictions continue to weigh on the country's cobalt exports, this move by Glencore underscores how market control and the global energy transition are reshaping mining strategies in Africa. The company stated that it has issued production guidance for the coming year but has not yet provided a cobalt production forecast due to high uncertainty. Although the company continues to mine cobalt in the DRC, exports remain restricted due to a quota system implemented by the Congolese government to manage supply surplus and stabilize prices.
