Key Points:

  • Copper has the strongest outlook as tight supply and rising power infrastructure demand support prices.
  • Lithium remains under pressure from mine restarts, although electric vehicle and battery storage demand may limit further declines.
  • Uranium has a stable long term outlook as nuclear reactor construction supports demand despite short term market volatility.
