CountryWatch Metals Forecast

The metals sector is a critical component of the global industrial and financial sectors. The CountryWatch Metals Forecast team develops demand and supply estimates over a 20 year period using five years of historical data for the major industrial metal markets: copper, lead, tin, nickel, and zinc. In addition, this forecast projects demand and supply of two of the major precious metals: gold and silver. Metal prices are determined by balancing global demand and global supply over a 20 forward period.
