US Bank: Copper and aluminum prices are expected to rise again in the third quarter.
February 26, 2026
Bank of America analyst Michael Widmer stated in a report that the price increase of copper and aluminum might occur first in the short term, but it is expected that both metals will rise again in the third quarter. "The fundamentals are strong, but some indicators show that the prices have deviated from the 'fair' value." However, there will be a supply shortage for both metals this year, and global demand is expected to rebound in the summer, especially in the United States, Europe and China.
