Goldman Sachs Predicts Decline of Copper Prices in 2026

A recent report from Goldman Sachs expects the price of copper to decline next year, despite the metal’s increasing demand from power infrastructure. This, alongside constrained mine supply growth, is expected to underpin prices over time. According to the report, copper on the London Metal Exchange surged to an all-time high of $11,771 a metric ton earlier this year. The increase was primarily driven by concerns over tightening supply outside America. Despite this rally, Goldman Sachs projects that during the first half of next year, the LME copper price will average around $10,710 per metric ton. The financial institution expects the red metal’s prices to fluctuate between $10,000 and $11,000 over the course of 2026, due…

What Investors Need to Know About the Current Copper Market Realities

Last week, the price of copper climbed to $11,617 per ton, marking a more than 30% gain for the year and signaling more than a typical commodity upswing. The current environment reflects a fundamental shift in the global copper ecosystem, where short-term influences like expectations of Federal Reserve easing and U.S. tariff uncertainty intersect with powerful, long-term demand drivers like the adoption of renewable energy, growth of AI infrastructure and electrification. The defining feature of today’s market is severe supply tightness. Earlier this month, LME stocks dropped below 100,000 tons, pushing the futures curve into extreme backwardation, a clear sign…

Gold Stutters as Bond Yields Tick Upwards

The start of the week saw prices of both silver and gold drop as treasury yields rose ahead of a policy announcement by the Federal Reserve. Silver dropped to $58.12 an ounce, representing a 0.4% decrease. At the same time, gold dropped by 0.1% while palladium and platinum prices rose. This comes as traders continue to look past the widely expected rate cut for signals about monetary policy in the coming year. This announcement, coupled with expected government debt auctions, may reshape expectations for next year.
