Chile is likely to produce less copper than recently anticipated. Production at the El Teniente mine was interrupted for several days due to a collapse. As a result, the state copper commission Cochilco has revised its copper production forecast downward. Instead of growth of three percent, the commission now expects growth of 1.5 percent. The Escondida mine, one of the world’s largest copper mines, and the Collahuasi mine will produce less than expected.

Although the latest trade statistics from China were not bad, the price of copper fell slightly. Stimulus measures are helping to boost the economy, but these are associated with uncertainty in the US. Stimulus measures are more of a Chinese thing. If the country continues to be active in this regard, this could sustain growth in copper consumption.

UBS, for example, is optimistic about the copper price. Experts expect a price of US$11,000 per tonne of copper at the end of September 2026. Just recently, UBS was forecasting a copper price of US$10,320 for 2026. The positive outlook for copper prices is due to growing copper consumption as a result of electrification, artificial intelligence, and rising defense spending. This is particularly true for Europe and the US. China will also play an important role here. In any case, higher copper prices are on the way, which should also please companies with copper in their projects.
