Greg Shearer shares J.P. Morgan’s outlook for base and precious metals in 2026. We retain our structural, multi-year bullish outlook for gold, seeing prices heading to $5,000/oz by 4Q26 as the long-term trend of official reserve and investor diversification into gold has further to run. In base metals, we are most convicted on our bullish view on copper, seeing prices rising towards $12,500/mt over 1H26 as acute supply disruptions are set to tighten a refined copper market and stress fragile ex-US inventory cover.
