Gold and silver: what will it take for the next move higher? #Gold and #silver remain well supported and have edged higher in recent days, but upside momentum has yet to translate into a sustained breakout. The market continues to search for a catalyst capable of driving the next leg higher. In this clip from our recent Metals Market Webinar, Viktoria Kuszak, Senior Research Analyst, explores the key macro factors shaping the precious metals outlook. Key insights include: 🔹Why the market is focused on whether investors can price future Fed rate cuts with greater conviction. 🔹How weaker ETF inflows are limiting momentum despite resilient prices. 🔹Why gold and silver may remain range-bound and data-driven in the months ahead.

For metals market participants, the key question is no longer what the next headline will be, but how it will influence inflation, energy costs and supply-demand balances. Our latest Quarterly Metals Report examines the forces driving price action across metals markets as we move through the second half of 2026. From evolving policy expectations and inflation trends to supply constraints and shifting positioning, the report explores why markets are becoming increasingly selective and where key risks and opportunities may emerge. Read the complimentary report here: sucdenfinancial.com/en/market-insi… Key questions covered include: 🔹What's next for #copper as markets navigate tariff risk and supply tightness? 🔹Has #aluminium's disruption-led rally run its course, or do low inventories still support prices? 🔹Can nickel break higher as Indonesian supply discipline tightens the market? 🔹Can #gold hold near historic highs as central bank buying offsets the impact of firm real yields, a stronger US dollar and a cautious Federal Reserve?

Lead and zinc: why are these sister metals telling such different stories? While #lead and #zinc are typically linked by shared supply dynamics, recent market behaviour suggests a growing divergence. In this clip from our latest Metals Market Webinar, Daria Efanova and Pierre-Alix Favillier, examine what is driving the disconnect and what it could mean for market participants. Key highlights include: • Zinc’s resilience may be increasingly driven by positioning rather than fundamentals, with investment fund participation rising sharply and long positioning remaining elevated. • Lead appears to be finding support, with downside pressure easing and signs of a potential mean reversion emerging. • The widening gap between the two metals is creating new relative-value opportunities that traders are watching closely.

Aluminium and nickel: searching for the next catalyst With the sharp sell-off now behind them, #aluminium and #nickel markets appear to be entering a different phase. The question facing traders is whether recent price stability marks the start of a recovery or simply a pause before the next major catalyst emerges. In this clip from our latest Metals Market Webinar, Viktoria Kuszak, and Pierre-Alix Favillier, discuss how changing supply dynamics, investor positioning and market sentiment are shaping the outlook for both metals. Their discussion explores: 🔹 Why supply constraints remain supportive, from Middle Eastern aluminium production to Indonesia’s influence on nickel markets. 🔹 How markets have largely moved beyond the geopolitical premium that dominated earlier in the year, with traders now focused on consolidation rather than an immediate rally. 🔹 What options activity and market positioning reveal about expectations for price direction over the coming months.

Copper’s resilience: what’s the market seeing that others aren’t? #Copper has remained remarkably well supported despite heightened geopolitical uncertainty and broader volatility across commodity markets. In this clip from this week’s #MetalsMarket Webinar, Daria Efanova and Pierre-Alix Favillier discuss the factors continuing to shape the outlook for copper. Key themes include: • Why tariff expectations and policy developments are currently having a greater impact on price action than traditional fundamentals. • How tightening concentrate availability and a strengthening refined market deficit continue to provide structural support. • Why investor positioning and limited appetite for downside exposure remain important drivers of market sentiment.

Recent #cnh appreciation is driven by new trends and trade flows. We believe that portfolio allocations, technology exports and investor sentiment are playing a larger role alongside policy management. We are seeing the creation of the infrastructure for the yuan to play a bigger role in global trade and finance. Over time, that may be the more important story than the appreciation itself. While there are many risks in the current global environment we continue to see a directional bias towards gradual yuan appreciation.

Funding rates for borrowing CNH have dropped notably, falling back towards 2–3% from heights of above 5% three years ago. The onshore-offshore price gap is effectively flat, and CNH volatility remains low. This is one of many reasons for a turn towards #cnh for forex solutions.

The recent appreciation in #CNH is not just a temporary dollar story. The strength of the #currency has become less a by-product of dollar weakness and more of a China-specific story. Renewed interest in China-specific growth themes, from AI and advanced manufacturing to technology exports, has helped shift the yuan story beyond dollar weakness. The #yuan's correlation with the dollar has weakened. The currency is increasingly responding to investor perceptions of China itself, while a shift towards higher-value technology-related exports helps explain why policymakers have tolerated appreciation.

Key themes include: • A stronger Brazilian crop points to a more comfortable forward balance • Growing El Niño risk, particularly for #Robusta in Southeast Asia • Ongoing shipping and input cost pressures impacting pricing dynamics • Structural demand support from Asia and Robusta substitution sucdenfinancial.com/en/market-insi…
