The Outlook for Mineral Commodities

Driving the Market
Investment trend over the last 30 years
• Low prices and 20 years of underinvestment in mining
• Higher prices and 10 years of growing investment
interrupted by the financial crisis in 2008/9
Crucial Importance of China and other Developing
Countries
• Chinese demand in particular is underpinning high
prices and continued investment
Short Term Risks
• Short term economic outlook looks uncertain with
possible implications for metals prices

Sector Outlook – Re-cap
Short Term Vs Long Term
As global GDP slows down and expectations about robust commodity demand
get paired down, commodities could correct in the short term
However, the Medium Term outlook is still quite positive as the process of
industrialization of India and the move up the value added chain in China
remain in force, the main drivers behind consumption growth.
Other related trends likely to continue
Growth in trade in metals
Increase in investment in new and “difficult” areas as best deposits get
exploited and investors compete for viable resources
Growth in the importance of developing country investors and traders
internationally
Continued issues about fair benefit sharing - at national and community
levels
In some cases concerns about resource riches management

Though 650 yrs of prices gives a different perspective!
