A deficit is good for commodity prices, whereas a surplus is negative.

COVID-19 is still causing disruptions as we approach 2022, and China is still not bailing out their failing property developers, so there is a likelihood that demand is lower into the H1 of 2022. As global growth picks up and bottlenecks in the supply chain begin easing, copper prices are likely to remain supported by the small supply deficit. If there is a sudden boost to demand, we are likely to see a big move in the base metals as the supply is generally tight. A key concern is the level of inventories at the London Metal Exchange, especially for copper and zinc. As a result of production cuts post the Great Financial Crisis in 2007-2009, producers had reduced CAPEX, so any supply overhangs were generally limited, to begin with. With COVID-19 resulting in a mining disruption but also demand destruction, there had not been a major push to find new resources. This is changing as commodity prices stay relatively high and vaccinations ease the health pressures and disruptions.<\/p><p>As a result of COP26, developed nations are under pressure to decarbonise, and China will play a key role in reducing global carbon emissions. In preparation for the Winter Olympics, China has proven that it can achieve blue skies over Shanghai under international scrutiny. In addition, they will need to upgrade their electricity infrastructure and electrify more and although the Chinese authorities are likely to utilise their coal power stations, there is a relatively large adoption of Electric Vehicles.<\/p><p>The London Metal Exchange copper inventories remain low but by 2023, a possible surplus could emerge as rising mine supply picks up. The commercial reporters on the CTFC show that the producers are adding to their overall short positioning, which is a sign that they want to lock in these current prices. An oversupply would obviously result in lower prices and shorting the physical is a good hedge.<\/p><p>Copper prices also dropped last week as the dollar rally slammed the Chilean peso. On Sunday, Jose Antonio Kast garnered 27.9% of the vote, followed by left-wing candidate Gabriel Boric with 25.8%, and the election will now go to a runoff on December 19, 2021. Political unrest a couple of years ago has built up quite a lot of uncertainty and the hope is that come 2022, the new Chilean President will be able to restore some order.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-2264bec elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"2264bec\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-c75a0af\" data-id=\"c75a0af\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-979f1ce elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"979f1ce\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"788\" height=\"613\" src=\"https:\/\/youtrading.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Copper-Producers.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-18636\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-0eaa9c7 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"0eaa9c7\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-c11ebb7\" data-id=\"c11ebb7\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-05b5759 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"05b5759\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t<p>Global copper production estimates from Bank of America:<\/p><p>2020 \u2013 23,332,000t<\/p><p>2021 \u2013 24,808,000t<\/p><p>2022E \u2013 25,509,000t<\/p><p>2023E \u2013 27,075,000t<\/p><p>Cochilco, Chile&#8217;s state copper commission, reported earlier in November that Codelco&#8217;s output in September fell by 16% year over year to 133,800 tonnes.

With the price currently trading above the 20-period moving average, I believe we can prepare for an acceleration higher to the year\u2019s top print once we clear last week\u2019s highs. The 30 thousand feet viewpoint looks like the consolidation period is carving out a bull-flag chart pattern, so there could be some considerable upside to be found. Momentum is to the upside and that is currently leading prices slightly higher too.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-a63afdc elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"a63afdc\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-862dc69\" data-id=\"862dc69\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8bed9b5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"8bed9b5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"633\" height=\"58\" src=\"https:\/\/youtrading.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/CTA-tracker.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-18638\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-adbffc1 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"adbffc1\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-0177efe\" data-id=\"0177efe\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6c27318 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"6c27318\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"963\" height=\"502\" src=\"https:\/\/youtrading.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/LME-Prices.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-18639\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-89e6fac elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"89e6fac\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-c87fd94\" data-id=\"c87fd94\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0f6a269 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0f6a269\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t<p>The TD Securities Commodity Trading Advisor (CTA) tracker shows that the nearest trigger price for these momentum traders is when copper reaches $9410 per tonne.
