Goldman Sachs and Citi have turned increasingly bullish on copper, citing mounting supply-side risks across the global market. Goldman Sachs and Citi highlighted disruptions at Kamoa-Kakula, delays at Grasberg, and declining ore grades at major mines as key concerns. Meanwhile, demand from AI infrastructure, power-grid expansion, and clean-energy projects continues to strengthen. Both banks believe copper prices could remain well supported in the coming months.
