A REAL ONE SMART THING
What's a deficit really?
When analysts say copper is in a "deficit," they mean the world is consuming more copper than it's mining. That sounds alarming — and sometimes it is. But a deficit doesn't always mean shortages tomorrow. It means inventory buffers are being drawn down. When LME warehouse stocks fall below 100,000 tonnes, traders start paying attention. When they fall below 50,000, everyone does. Right now, we're watching closely — because the deficit isn't a rumor anymore.
