In 2014, we anticipate the copper market will register its fourth consecutive year of surplus, with some downward pressure on prices. We expect another year of robust mine production growth, although sluggish scrap markets may temper the pace of refined output and growth in direct use scrap. As the global economy recovers, we foresee a more broad based consumption growth outlook for copper, with less reliance on China.
