Copper outlook uncertain amid stronger dollar and tariffs- analysts

Investing.com — The future of is unclear due to the anticipated strengthening of the dollar, impending tariffs, and a potential slowdown in the energy transition under the incoming administration of President-elect Donald Trump, according to analysts at BMI, cited by Wall Street Journal.
They point out that even though copper is likely to prosper due to environmental-driven sentiment, the risks associated with their relatively optimistic perspective are leaning towards the negative side.
In a note, the BMI analysts stated, “While we still expect that copper will continue to thrive due to climate-driven sentiment, we note that the balance of risks to our relatively bullish outlook is tilted to the downside.” They do not anticipate a substantial increase in metals demand from the Chinese construction industry.
Nonetheless, they suggest that enhanced industrial activity and growth, driven by government stimulus, could be enough to elevate prices. As of now, the London Metal Exchange (LME) three-month copper is trading 0.6% higher at $9,153 per metric ton.
