Copper is WoodMac’s favored metal because shareholders aren’t giving a mandate to mining companies to invest in supply.

“Built into the DNA of copper is rising prices over the medium term,” Kettle says.

Copper gets a warning the worst may be yet to come

By Andy Home

Beijing's stimulus package, centred on "new" infrastructure such as electric vehicle charging points, should be positive for copper demand.

China's continued strong imports and relatively flat global exchange stocks reinforce the positive optics.

But, Commerzbank warns, "this optimism is premature in our opinion as we believe that the worst is yet to come."

The International Wrought Copper Council (IWCC) is expecting a surplus of almost one million tonnes of metal this year and next.

Unsurprisingly, given the level of lockdown disruption in key producer countries such as Peru, global mine supply is expected to fall by 4% this year. That will translate into a 2.4% drop in production of refined metal.

However, the COVID-19 supply shock will be exceeded by the hit to demand, the IWCC suggesting global usage could fall by as much as 5.4% in 2020.

Even as it stands, the copper market may be heading for stormy waters, although the price isn't saying so right now.

Copper prices could see a ‘supercharged recovery’ this year — but analysts are still cautious long term

by Chloe Taylor

Citi: “The copper rally over the past month from $5,700 a ton to over $6,000 a ton has occurred against a backdrop of flat to falling equity prices and bond yields, leaving copper looking overvalued by $220 to $420 per ton based on these historical relationships”.

Will Copper really dominate the 2020s?

https://www.kitco.com/news/2020-07-02/T ... ilver.html

For Copper and Uranium, I invested in micro cap junior explorer Powerore (PORE.V in Canada at 6 cents). That stock has potential to become a twenty-bagger in the next five years.

For Helium, I follow GTLS and APD

Copper Is Surging, But It Doesn’t Mean Economy Is Booming

by Carolina Gonzalez

Surged by a staggering 45% since mid-March.

Copper’s gain has been driven chiefly by concerns over strains on supply from key producers South America.

Thousands of copper workers have fallen ill in Chile, which is by far the world’s largest producer of the metal, accounting for more than a quarter of global supply.

Infections are also slowing the mining recovery in Peru, the second-biggest producer.

Freeport-McMoRan Inc., the world’s largest publicly traded copper company, said Monday that it sold about 8% more copper in the second quarter than it forecast earlier in the pandemic.

China's imports of copper concentrate from the United States hit their highest in June since September 2018

China's imports of copper concentrate from the United States hit their highest in June since September 2018, customs data showed yesterday, as smelters made the most of a trade detente to purchase tariff-free metal earlier this year.

China, the world's top copper consumer, imported 30,734 tonnes of US copper concentrate last month, according to the General Administration of Customs. That accounted for 1.93 percent of its total June copper concentrate imports of 1.59 million tonnes.

The intensifying China-US tensions had squeezed copper concentrate imports to China since late 2018, although Chinese firms had been allowed to apply for exemption on tariffs since March, with at least two cargoes of copper concentrate from the US due to arrive in mid-June.
