Report summary
Copper producers are focusing their attention on the here and now, faced with low copper prices and the challenges created by the coronavirus pandemic. Over the medium-term, with a demand recovery constrained and supply from new projects hitting the market, prices will remain subdued. Nevertheless, the market still requires additional capacity to close the supply gap that is set to emerge over the long-term.
