Rusal fears that up to 36% of its sales could be at risk due to sanctions imposed by the UK and the US, a person close to the company said. 😟****

About 1.5 million tons of export shipments are under threat, Rusal reports, noting that exports may return to the level of 2008. 📉

Sanctions on metals have led to a rise in prices on the London Metal Exchange. For instance, aluminum rose by 9.4% — the highest increase since the current form of contract for this metal appeared in 1987. Nickel rose by 8.8%. 💰

In the end, it turns out just as we mentioned above - for the EU, the price of metal will rise, production in the EU will become more expensive, and competition with American goods will be even tougher. 💼

Electrek: Rumors are circulating that Tesla is preparing mass layoffs - up to 20% of its workforce. 😟

Currently, Tesla earns about 764 thousand rubles per car, while its main competitor, BYD, is undercutting prices and earning only 115 thousand rubles per sale.

Tesla is going through a tough period, as its cars are becoming less competitive in China. Tesla may reduce its margin by lowering prices and increasing sales volume, but in any case, it will lose profit. 😕

Germany will not be able to recover from the energy crisis, says the head of the German energy company RWE, Markus Krebber.

😔 Krebber called it the silliest mistake to abandon nuclear power plants and switch to LNG, which costs several times more than the traditional pipeline gas. According to Markus, the structural shift in demand in energy-intensive sectors is practically impossible to revert to old values, and any statement that "the crisis is over" is a lie.
