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.
