Report summary
The copper price is on course to end 2020 over $3,500/t above its March lows, despite the contraction in global demand outside China. Encouraging news on vaccines and expectations that demand for copper will rise on the back of government’s pledges to decarbonise their economies has continued to attract speculative interest. Nevertheless, we maintain our view that the market is headed for a period of oversupply by 2022 after a couple of years of above average mine supply. This will push the refined market into surplus in that year which should weigh on prices as stocks in days of consumption rise.
