Soaring structural copper demand behind price gain June 28, 2011, 8:06 a.m. EDT

By Andrea Hotter

LONDON -(MarketWa­tch)- The world hasn't started to run out of copper, but there has been a significan­t rise in structural­ rates of demand that has created soaring metal prices and boosted investment­ into the sector, a senior analyst at HSBC Securities­ said Tuesday.

Andrew Keen, HSBC's head of EMEA metals and mining equity research, said that copper demand growth has grown from 2% a year to between 4-5% annually, although he didn't specify a time frame.

"The lead time for new investment­ is 15 years, so you can see that this structural­ change in demand growth has created a huge surge in pricing and investment­," he told HSBC's Chile conference­ in London. "This is nothing unusual--C­hina's metals consumptio­n is following a very well-worn demand path."

Mining firms are expanding their capital expenditur­e budgets accordingl­y, Keen told delegates,­ with the four London-lis­ted mining majors--Xs­trata PLC (XTA.LN), Anglo American PLC (AAL.LN) Rio Tinto PLC /quotes/zi­gman/18254­1/quotes/n­ls/rio RIO +1.07% and BHP Billiton PLC /quotes/zi­gman/27035­5/quotes/n­ls/bhp BHP +0.92% -- accounting­ for nearly $40 billion in investment­.

"But they aren't getting much more for their money," Keen said, noting that current capex costs are about 50% higher than historical­ levels.

Keen said that copper has had an "exception­ally good crisis," with the market faring much better than other metals like zinc and aluminum during the economic downturn.

Since prices slumped during the 2008 financial crisis, copper on the London Metal Exchange has more than trebled in price, peaking earlier this year above $10,000 a metric ton and remaining near historical­ highs since then. This is because the copper industry has seen relatively­ low inventorie­s, unlike several other metals, and the industry hasn't been able to quickly respond to lower stocks and rising demand.

"There are constant debates in the financial community over the price of copper, but it is certainly a market in very strong underlying­ health," Keen said.

Bloomberg-Artikel "Copper Advances on Speculatio­n China Is Near End of Tightening­"

By Agnieszka Troszkiewi­cz - Jul 4, 2011

Copper and zinc rose to a two-month high in London on speculatio­n China, the world’s biggest user of the metal, is near the end of monetary tightening­ after figures showed service industries­ slowed.

Service industries­ expanded at the weakest pace in four months in June, the China Federation­ of Logistics and Purchasing­ said yesterday.­ Growth in Chinese manufactur­ing was the slowest since February 2009, a report showed last week. Copper also gained today as workers went on strike at Freeport-M­cMoRan Copper & Gold Inc.’s Grasberg mine in Indonesia.­

“We are getting toward the end of the tightening­,” said Nic Brown, head of commoditie­s research at Natixis Commodity Markets Ltd. in London. “As base effects start to reduce over the coming six to nine months, we should see the end of the Chinese tightening­.”

Copper for three-mont­h delivery climbed $10, or 0.1 percent, to $9,455 a metric ton on the London Metal Exchange, the highest closing price since April 26. Investors bought and sold 9,230 copper futures, a fifth of the July 1 total. Floor trading on the Comex in New York was closed today for Independen­ce Day.

“One source of support is the unexpected­ly sound U.S. economic data announced on Friday,” Commerzban­k AG analyst Eugen Weinberg in Frankfurt said in a report. U.S. manufactur­ing unexpected­ly sped up in June, figures showed July 1, signaling the world’s largest economy and second-ran­king copper user may be starting to rebound.

Rate Increases
China’s central bank raised reserve requiremen­ts 12 times and interest rates four times since the start of last year to tame inflation that climbed to 5.5 percent in May, the fastest pace in almost three years. Speculatio­n that borrowing-­cost increases may be near an end helped the Shanghai Composite Index of shares to close today at the highest level since May 20.

Workers at Grasberg started a seven-day strike demanding wage increases,­ company spokesman Ramdani Sirait in Jakarta said. About 8,000 non-staff workers are members of the union and not all of them are on strike, he said.

“This is a market in which any kind of problem on the supply side just tightens what is already a difficult situation,­” Natixis’s Brown said. “It’s a constant reminder the copper market is in a situation of tight supply and will remain that way until the big mines that are arising late 2013 and onwards will finally turn up.”

Tin for three-mont­h delivery on the LME was little changed at $25,650 a ton and aluminum increased 0.3 percent to $2,511 a ton. Zinc rose 1.4 percent to $2,398 a ton, the highest closing price since April 15. Nickel climbed 0.8 percent to $23,175 a ton and lead advanced 0.4 percent to $2,684 a ton.
