Copper (XCU), uranium and lithium markets face important support tests after recent declines. The risk of supply in Chile and strong US factory orders may support a recovery in the copper market. Moreover, better electric vehicle sales support lithium demand, but the mining shares still face selling pressure. Uranium also needs stronger investor buying to support a recovery. Higher fuel costs could add to the pressure on copper and lithium producers. In my view, these markets need to defend key support while demand improves. This article presents the key market drivers and technical levels that could shape the next move in copper, uranium and lithium.
