Aluminium Price Prediction for Next Week
LME Aluminium prices closed the week higher, supported by Middle East supply disruptions and relatively low raw material costs, which encouraged Chinese smelters to maintain high production levels. Despite, China's aluminium product output declined 1.2% year-on-year to around 4.8 million tonnes in September, indicating weakness in downstream demand. However, Chinese aluminium exports increased 25.9% year-on-year, reaching a three-month high, while Indonesian exports exceeded 150,000 tonnes in August. Meanwhile, Middle Eastern smelters are gradually recovering, with Al Taweelah targeting full production recovery by Q1 2027. Easing physical premiums and Rio Tinto's extension of Bell Bay operations through 2031 indicate improving supply prospects, potentially limiting further price gains.
Copper Price Forecast for Next Week
LME Copper prices declined for the second consecutive week as a global selloff in artificial intelligence stocks dampened sentiment toward the metal. Concerns over elevated inventories persisted, with LME stocks rising 20% over the week to 273,750 tonnes, despite a modest increase of 800 tonnes on Friday. However, inventories registered with the Shanghai Futures Exchange fell 26.5% weekly, indicating tightening availability in China. Meanwhile, substantial copper stockpiles in the US continued to weigh on prices amid uncertainty over potential tariff measures and the risk of re-exports. Despite near-term weakness, copper retains long-term support from AI-driven data centre and power infrastructure expansion. Supply risks also remain elevated due to potential labour strikes at major mining operations and uncertainty surrounding US trade policies.
Natural Gas Price Prediction for Next Week
US Natural gas prices declined over 6% during the week amidst forecasts for warmer weather near term limits consumption demand. Above-average temperatures across the Midwest and East through November 5 are expected to limit heating demand. The bearish sentiment outweighed support from a below-average storage injection of 77 Bcf for the week ended October 16, lower US production of 111.4 Bcf/d and stronger LNG feedgas demand, which rose in October. Meanwhile, speculative net short positions increased by 26,764 contracts to 126,900 contracts, reflecting weaker market sentiment. However, geopolitical uncertainty, Middle Eastern LNG shipments remaining around 80% below year-ago levels and EU gas storage at 74.62% could intensify global supply competition, limiting further downside.
