As quoted in the market report:
Cochilco also cut its view for 2013 average copper prices to $3.27/lb from $3.57/lb due to a slowdown in top metals consumer China, the prospect of the US Federal Reserve winding down its economic stimulus programme, and a projected copper surplus in the period 2013-2017.
