Report summary
There has been little change to our fundamental outlook for copper. We maintain our view that the market is headed for a period of significant oversupply as additional tonnage from new projects and existing mines comes to market. Refined demand is set to contract sharply in 2020 before returning to growth in 2021 and 2022. However, as coronavirus related concerns re-emerge, demand prospects could yet disappoint. Tightness in scrap availability in China could yet support higher demand for refined metal in the final quarter of this year.
