Guests at the LME Week cast their votes on which metal has the most upside potential for 2024 and below are the results:

► 55.2% bet on copper

► 21.8%: tin

► 8%: nickel

► 6.9%: lead/zinc

► 4.6%: aluminum

Citibank analyst Max Layton said he is mildly bearish on copper's near-term outlook but said prices could soar once macroeconomic growth concerns recede. LME copper could jump to $12,000/mt to $15,000/mt in 2025, driven by surging demand from the energy transition that is unlikely to be met by expanding mine output.

Panama Panel Backs Conditional Cobre Panamá Restart to Fund Eventual Closure

A Panamanian ministerial commission has recommended opening formal negotiations with First Quantum Minerals over a potential restart of Cobre Panamá. Under the proposal, the mine could resume operations without expanding its footprint, with operating revenue funding rehabilitation, long-term monitoring and an eventual orderly closure at no cost to the state. Any agreement would require all pending international arbitration claims to be terminated and could not be extended. The report did not specify the scale or duration of a restart. Cobre Panamá previously accounted for around 1% of global copper production. Until an agreement and timetable are confirmed, the near-term impact on copper concentrate supply remains limited.

Escondida supervisors vote 95% to authorise strike; talks enter mandatory mediation

Sindicato N°2 de Supervisores y Staff at BHP's Escondida copper mine in Chile rejected the company's final wage offer, with 95% voting to authorise strike action. The union of about 1,020 supervisors objected to limited pay improvements, multi-tasking requirements and a proposed 14x14 shift rotation. Chilean law now mandates at least five days of government mediation, extendable by five more, before any legal walkout. The mine produced 1.26 million tonnes in fiscal 2026, down 3% year on year, with fiscal 2027 guidance of 1.0-1.1 million tonnes. Production is currently unaffected, but the vote compounds supply risk after a fatal accident halted operations in late September.
