FT report on Copper - good news for UD22 Feb 2021 20:49
Goldman Sachs reckons the copper market is heading for its biggest supply deficit in a decade (327,000 tonnes) as production fails to keep pace with demand in China and the rest of the world, where consumption is rapidly picking up after the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic.
To reflect the possibility of “scarcity pricing”, the bank has lifted its 12-month target price for copper to $10,500, which would be a record high.
