S&P Launches New Metals Index

Standard & Poor's has launched a new S&P/TSX Global Base Metals index for investors looking to buy into industrial metals and mining.

The new index, which captures companies that mine for metals such as aluminum, zinc, copper and nickel, will complement the index provider's existing S&P/TSX global gold and mining indexes.

Companies will be sorted into two subindustries: diversified metals and mining and aluminum, S&P announced in a release Wednesday.

Glad to see aluminum is being split out into a sub index. Any thoughts on magnesium and titanium (in particulate or refined form), as a potential part of an aluminum index ?
