At Any Rate J.P. Morgan Research

J.P. Morgan hosted its annual Global Markets Conference in Paris on 15-17 May. Judging from the speaker comments and questions from the audience, participants at the conference appeared rather sanguine about the US and global economic outlook. In this podcast the Macro Research team discusses their key takeaways from the sessions and conversations with investors, which covered a range of topics including the prospects for US soft landing, potential divergence between the Fed and other central bank easing cycles, geopolitical risks and the market implications of the US elections.

LME copper prices have surged nearly 30% year-to-date, jumping above $11,000/mt this morning with COMEX prices in the US still trading at a significant premium to the global LME benchmark. The massive widening of the COMEX/LME copper arb over the last week is more about positioning and inventory tightness in the US specifically and not reflective of a tight broader global refined copper market just yet. We remain structurally medium-term bullish on copper prices over the next two years as constrained mine supply is not going to alleviate quickly but current price levels are running well ahead of global refined market fundamentals at the moment. China’s refined market appears loose as demand is being deferred and delayed amid high copper prices while refined supply has stayed strong. A temporary correction in copper prices could be healthy to kick start Chinese demand and lay the groundwork for another eventual push even higher.
