Goldman Sachs (GS.US) presented a bullish forecast for copper market for 2023-24. GS analysts expect that price will jump from current $8500 per tone to $11,000 per tone next year, while in 2024 they see further advancement to $12,000 per tone.
The bank's analysts point out that production in Chile is not meeting targets, which means that the projected surplus for 2023-24 is at risk, while inventories are already close to record lows.

COPPER prices still struggle to break above key resistance at $8600, which is marked with upper limit of the 1:1 structure, 200 SMA (red line) and 38.2% Fibonacci retracement of the downward wave launched in March 2022. As long as the price sits below, the road towards record highs mentioned by GS analysts remains closed. Source: xStation5
