The initial annualised rate of U.S. GDP in the first quarter rose 1.1% quarter-on-quarter, estimated at 2.0%, and the previous value was at 2.6%.

Analysts believe that although the U.S. economy achieved growth last year, as the Federal Reserve continues to raise interest rates, the abnormal tension in the labour market has not eased, and the housing market and other areas have shown signs of recession.

Coupled with weak consumer spending, the US economy is likely to slow down in the second half of this year or even enter a recession.

At present, financial institutions such as JP Morgan Chase, Wells Fargo, Citigroup and Deutsche Bank all predict that the US economy is likely to experience a slight or mild recession in the second half of this year.

Copper Transforms from Weak to Top-Performing Metal, Driven by Supply Concerns and Economic Outlook

Nguyen Thu Lan at Commerzbank noted that copper, once among the weakest-performing metals under pressure from rising London Metal Exchange (LME) inventories and mixed supply side news, has now transformed into one of the best-performing metals.Potential inventory sell-offs and the restart of the Panama mine could suppress price gains in the short term, but the sharp decline in Chilean production suggests that once concerns about economic growth ease, supply worries could dominate, supporting copper prices higher over the longer term.Nguyen said: "Copper is one of the best-performing metals. On the one hand, this can be attributed to copper being viewed as a highly cyclical metal.
