RE:RE:Kamoa-Kakula´s phase 1 copper has already been soldNotSo,China uses a lot of cu to manufacture many products.If the price for the metal rises then their profits fall unless they increase the price of the goods produced which they would be reluctant to do for fear of losing customers.Also,as stated in my previous post,the threat of potentially releasing reserves was sufficient to lower cu price.I agree that demand for the metal is likely to rise along with price into late summer and fall.IMO.they will,therefore, not want to deplete their reserves beyond a token amount,if any.Time will tell.Just my portfolio is already overstocked with IVN or I would buy into this fall.
