Bullion fell the most since June and copper had the biggest drop since July 2022 on a closing basis as Trump’s win rippled through global markets and pushed the greenback up the most since 2020. That's as investors are concerned with Trump's campaign promise to impose tariffs as high as 60 percent on Chinese imports. So what does this mean for the metals market going forward?

On Wealth Tracker, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Sabrin Chowdhury, Global Head of Commodities, APAC, BMI to find out where there are any opportunities in the metals market investors can still look forward to.
