Despite the global economic downturn presenting the most challenging demand environment in over a decade, copper prices have staged a remarkable recovery since March. CRU expects prices to continue to recover towards $7000/t over the medium term, with demand set to benefit from growth in electric vehicles and mine supply facing a number of challenges.
To get a holistic understanding, let’s hear from our panel of experts on the outlook for copper prices and markets, and also the risks in exploration & production. The seminar will cover risks and opportunities for the sector only. No investment recommendations will be provided.
The event will be recorded, which SGX may use for internal and external publicity purposes.
