Sir please explain this paragraph, From aluminum to zinc, spot prices for base metals on the London Metal Exchange are all soaring above futures -- a condition known as backwardation -- for the first time since 2007. Buyers are paying a premium for access to metal against a backdrop of plunging exchange inventories, supply-chain delays, production hiccups and surging demand for industrial commodities in everything from construction
is this surge in demand of industrial commodities, etc due to economy revival post pandemic? if yes then this would be for temporary period of time as there is no shortage of metals 9natural resources) as such?
Please explain the 4th paragraph.
