智利国家铜委员会Cochilco将其2025年产量增长预测从之前的3%下调至1.5%,理由是必和必拓的Escondida矿和Collahuasi矿6月份产量下降。全球最大的铜出口国今年的产量预计仍将达到558万公吨,2025-2026年的平均铜价保持在4.30美元/磅。Cochilco警告称,6月份的下降是“一个转折点”,Codelco的El Teniente矿的致命坍塌可能会构成“供应中断的重大风险”。2026年,它将增长保持在3%,但将产量估计降至575万吨。在全球范围内,由于精矿供应有限和需求强劲,尤其是来自中国和其他新兴经济体的需求,预计价格将保持高位,2026年精炼铜的需求将达到2700万吨。预计到2025年,中国的消费量将达到1570万吨,而在工业化和能源转型的推动下,印度的需求预计将增长7.5%。
Chile’s state copper commission, Cochilco, cut its 2025 output growth forecast to 1.5% from 3% previously, citing a June production drop at BHP’s Escondida mine and Collahuasi. Production in the world’s top copper exporter is still expected to reach 5.58 million metric tons this year, with average copper prices for 2025–2026 maintained at $4.30/lb. Cochilco warned the June decline was “a turning point” and that a deadly collapse at Codelco’s El Teniente mine could pose a “significant risk of supply disruption.” For 2026, it kept growth at 3% but lowered output estimates to 5.75 million tons. Globally, prices are expected to stay high due to limited concentrate supply and strong demand, especially from China and other emerging economies, with demand for refined copper set to hit 27 million tons in 2026. China is projected to consume 15.7 million tons in 2025, while India’s demand is expected to rise 7.5%, driven by industrialization and the energy transition.
