Copper prices skyrocketed to a new peak in early May before ebbing amid risk-off sentiment, HSBC Global Investment Research said in its report. Despite the pullback, copper prices will remain at elevated levels, backed by resilient end-user demand, ongoing supply disruptions, and new uncertainties arising from potential US trade measures. As a result, it raised its average copper price forecast for 2026 by 6% to USD6.12 per pound, increased its 2027 forecast by 7% to USD5.81 per pound, and lifted its 2028 forecast by 3% to USD5.3 per pound, while maintaining its projections for 2029-30 and the long term unchanged.Related NewsMMG (01208.HK) +2.6% at Midday; JPM Initiates at Overweight with TP HKD13
