Macro Economic Overview
Macro concerns; European debt crisis and concerns over growth in US
Commodity driven inflation is a key concern
China and India tightening monetary policies prevent rapid growth and inflation pressure
China imports to gather momentum with destocking of copper expected to stop
Weaker than expected mine supply performance for H2
As per IMF report, Global growth is expected to be better in H2
Expect copper prices to perform in line with the Global growth. For
