&gt; quintillions USD<p>Oh dear Mr. Halevi.<p>The value of metals in asteroids can be massive if measured by their current value. If the scarcity of metals decreases, their price will collapse.<p>Primary sector produces just few percentages of global GDP. If you flood markets with markets with gold, palladium, platinum, copper, nickel etc. The share of mining sector in the economy is not going to increase.
