Although the relationship between the OECD LI and metals prices is not as strong as previously (due to the influence of China on prices), this is still a positive sign for 1H06.

Current Scenario

16



We are in the midst of a massive bull market in base metals (midst or around the peak???)



The main drivers have been:  An acceleration in demand growth – largely due to China 

A delayed supply response



More recently huge inflow of investment fund money into base metals.

Scenario Change 

17

What could end the bull market? 

A substantial slowdown/downturn in demand growth – driven by weaker economic growth



A strong supply response – looking less likely and farther



A slowdown or reversal of fund flows – driven by a fundamental change?
