Commodity Market Report
Global copper short-term outlook March 2022
Report summary
Over thirty days since the Russian invasion of Ukraine and two years since the pandemic began, commodity markets continue to face challenges. Even though copper did not experience the volatility of other metals immediately following the news of the Russian/Ukraine conflict, prices have since been influenced by developments across other commodities and by nickel in particular. Meanwhile, wider risks for demand growth are emerging for H2 2022 amid rising energy prices and inflation, while supply chain strains continue to grow.
