#Copper - UBS expects the copper market deficit to widen from 219,000 tonnes this year to 379,000 tonnes in 2027, and sees prices reaching $15,500 a tonne next year.
UBS expects the copper market deficit to widen from 219,000 tonnes this year to 379,000 tonnes in 2027, and sees prices reaching $15,500 a tonne next year.
Copper treatment charges fell to a record low below minus $200 a tonne in September, from around minus $45 at the start of the year, which UBS says reflects insufficient mine output to meet smelter demand.
Chilean production fell 10% month on month in July amid weather-related disruptions, with Escondida and Codelco accounting for most of the decline.
Since early July, LME inventories have fallen by 69,750 tonnes and Shanghai by 79,650 tonnes, while COMEX stocks rose by more than 91,200 tonnes.

#Copper - Copper mine supply may be headed for its first annual decline since 2017
Copper mine supply may be headed for its first annual decline since 2017.
Global output already fell 1.1% in the first half, per the International Copper Study Group. Codelco and Freeport-McMoRan both posted double-digit declines.
Escondida, the world's largest copper mine, saw its own output fall 3% in FY2026 as ore grades dropped from 1.02% to 0.90%, according to BHP.
S&P Global projects copper demand will grow 50% by 2040. Supply isn't on pace to match it.
