Market Outlook for Metals: BMI Research projects a positive but cautious outlook for the metals market in 2026, anticipating higher average prices due to tighter supply and strong demand linked to net-zero initiatives.
Impact of Tariff Easing: The firm notes that diminishing tariff uncertainty, which peaked in August 2025, will encourage investment and stabilize cost structures in the industry, although some risks remain, particularly for copper.
Mergers and Acquisitions Trends: BMI expects continued momentum in mergers and acquisitions as companies seek to secure critical minerals for clean-energy supply chains, with a focus on copper, lithium, and rare earths.
Economic Risks: Despite a generally positive outlook, BMI highlights potential risks, including a stabilizing U.S. dollar and slowing GDP growth in China, which may limit price growth for industrial metals.
