Goldman Sachs update on copper, 'Robust Chinese Demand And US Over-Importing Is Tightening The Ex-US Copper Market': China’s refined copper demand has increased by 12% YTD May. Domestic demand is a significant driver. China solar installations are up 150%, and AC sales are up 8%. Our end-use tracker indicates 13% YTD growth, after finished product exports, supporting 12% YTD growth in refined copper demand. This strong demand, coupled with price-driven record US imports, is tightening the global copper market, particularly ex-US. We expect China’s imports to rise seasonally in 2H. Consequently, we see upside risks to our August LME copper forecast of $10,050/t as China and the US compete for copper and inventories drop to record lows ex-US. This will also continue to tighten LME and Shanghai forward spreads, which at a steep backwardation can close the US import arbitrage.
