Near-term global demand is softening, and there is a period of significant mine supply on the horizon.  Prices will decline as a result, and this will put mining company margins under pressure.  But there is a need for new copper mines to be brought online over the longer-term, as the energy transition is establishing new demand growth opportunities for copper.

Join Head of Copper Research Gillian Moncur, Copper Research Director Nick Pickens, Hugo Brennan Head of Metals & Mining Risk, and Jimena Blanco Head of Americas Risk Insights from Wood Mackenzie sister company Verisk Maplecroft as they examine the road ahead for copper.
