How is Dr. Copper?

Many industrial metals fell in price over the course of the year. At the end of the year, there was a race to catch up. The hope that the Chinese economy would experience an upturn was probably the reason for this. A speech by Chinese President Xi on New Year’s Day ensured this. As China plays a key role as a major consumer of industrial metals, many expect prices for industrial metals to rise in the new year. The copper market is currently undersupplied. Analysts expect the copper deficit to worsen in 2024 and 2025. According to the International Copper Study Group, there was a shortage of around 53,000 tons of copper on the copper market in October 2023. In 2023 as a whole, the copper deficit will amount to around 80,000 tons of copper.

The growth in copper mine supply also appears to be declining. Global stocks are likely to continue to dwindle. And in general, investments in the mining sector are currently progressing rather slowly. After all, it takes years to develop a mine. The energy transition and a weakening US dollar are seen as drivers of the copper price. At the COP28 climate conference, many countries spoke out in favor of tripling renewable energy capacities. Citibank, for example, is forecasting possible copper prices of up to USD 15,000 per tonne by 2025.
