The Metals is trading at $2.58 (-8.98%) amid metals and broader risk-asset pressure; available reporting does not directly attribute the move to that backdrop. - No October 30 company-specific announcement explaining the decline surfaced; the latest identified board appointment was announced September 29. - Reports linked technology-stock selling and higher oil prices with growth concerns and retreat from risk assets; copper weakened. - Bitcoin and ether fell, but The Metals is a deep-sea minerals exploration company, not a crypto-related business.
