By Oliver Gray

Investing.com - Major mining companies are facing an increasingly volatile outlook amid easing inflation pressures and rising recession risks, while Rio Tinto Ltd (ASX:RIO) and BHP Group Ltd (ASX:BHP) are both making major acquisitions for the first time in over a decade as they seek to take advantage of increasing demand for metals required in renewable energy production.

Copper and nickel are among these metals that have seen a surge in demand due to decarbonisation efforts. These high commodity prices have encouraged both Rio Tinto and BHP to expand their commodities production and invest more in metals poised to benefit from decarbonisation instead of returning excess cash to shareholders.
