BMI Research has struck an optimistic but cautious outlook for the metals market in 2026. A British firm expects most minerals and metals to "average higher than in 2025," as tighter supply and robust demand from sectors tied to net-zero materialize.
As clarified in the note "Mining and Metals Key Themes For 2026: Global Economic Stability to Drive Gains," BMI forecasts that "the global economy [will] stabilize with easing trade frictions," helping to underpin commodity consumption.
