A Sneak Peek At What The Insiders Are Saying

“Most, if not all, the reports I've seen have been talking about a large (copper) deficit looming in the not-too-distant future. If you combine a deficit with the lengthening of the timelines to bring on production, there's some very optimistic price forecasts for copper."
— Rob McEwen, McEwen Mining

"(Copper) prices exceeded our expectations in 2022, propelled higher in part by constrained supply growth against a backdrop of low visible inventories."
— Karen Norton, Refinitiv

“We see (nickel) prices hovering between US$20,000 and US$20,500 (per metric ton) over the first two quarters of 2023 before gradually increasing to US$21,000 in 3Q and US$22,000 in 4Q as the global growth outlook starts to improve.”
— Ewa Manthey, ING"

“Although the economic outlook deteriorated in the latter half of (2022), we see fundamental support (for zinc) from the historically low level of exchange stocks, continued constraint on smelter production (and) modest growth in demand.”
— Jonathan Leng, Wood Mackenzie"
