The interviewer seeks proof that you are genuinely interested in commodity trading and mining. When you have a genuine interest in a topic, you will dedicate time to growing your knowledge base.

Tell the interviewer how you stay updated on industry trends and policy changes. Include any specifics that you are familiar with relating to Glencore. It's also a great idea to ask the interviewer how they prefer to stay on top of industry topics. You never know what other resources are out there, and you may learn something new!
