Trading Economics:
"Copper futures bounced back to $4.5 per tonne, rebounding from $4.4 per tonne touched on January 25th on optimism over future demand from top consumer China. The world’s biggest buyer of metals cut its benchmark mortgage rates for the first time in nearly two years to help its ailing property sector and also boost consumer activity, which has been slowing recently. On the supply side, China's refined copper production fell 6.1% in December but in 2021 was up by 7.4% to a record of 10.49 million tonnes. Meanwhile, Barrick Gold, the world’s second-largest gold mining company reported its preliminary copper production in 2021 was 9% lower than a year earlier."

You must register on the EPG website for our webinar on Monday, January 31.

Ero Copper (ERO) and Solaris Resources (SLS and SLSSF) are my picks for copper.
