flag Chinese industrial output beat forecasts, lifting copper prices despite slowing GDP growth and projected decline in China’s long-term copper demand.

flag Shanghai copper rose on Monday as China’s September industrial output beat forecasts, though GDP growth slowed to a one-year low. flag Copper prices climbed on both the Shanghai and London exchanges, while China’s long-term copper demand is expected to decline by 6% by 2031 due to reduced infrastructure expansion. flag Meanwhile, U.S. and Indian demand are projected to surge, with the U.S. seeing nearly 50% growth and India over 30%, driven by grid modernization, AI data centers, and renewable energy goals. flag China’s share of global copper consumption is forecast to drop from 57% to 52% by 2031, reflecting a shift toward a more diversified global market.
