The UBS global mining team raised the 2025 and 2026 copper price forecasts by 7% and 4%, respectively, to $4.24 and $4.68 per pound, reversing previous cautious demand forecasts, as the biggest impact of tariff uncertainty has subsided. UBS maintains a fairly optimistic view of copper prices, supported by favorable supply-side dynamics and long-term demand drivers. UBS raised the target price of Zijin Mining by 7% to HK$25.3 and the target price of Luoyang Molybdenum by 12.5% to HK$9.9, reaffirming the “buy” rating.
