The U.S. and U.K. governments announced new sanctions against Russia, targeting the country's metal exports, including aluminum, copper, and nickel, to limit Russia's war revenue against Ukraine. These sanctions prohibit new imports of these metals into the U.S. and U.K. and their trading on the London Metal Exchange (LME) and Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME). This move is expected to impact global metal supply and prices, given Russia's significant contribution to global metal markets. The article suggests that investing in metals through ETFs like the AiLA Long-Short Base Metals Strategy ETF (OAIB) could be a strategic move for investors, highlighting OAIB's market-neutral strategy and its track record of a 12.65% annualized return from 2017-2023.
