Fitch Solutions maintains copper price forecast as economies start to reopen

Financial risk management, solutions and insights company Fitch Solutions Country Risk and Industry Research (Fitch Solutions) has maintained its forecast for copper prices at an average of $5 900/t as it expects its previous expectation of stimulus from the Chinese government to play out and global economic activity increases.

Copper prices have already rebounded strongly following the Covid-19-induced drop recorded in the first quarter of the year.
