Copper is poised for a controlled pullback rather than a breakdown, with prices projected to ease about 1.6% from $12,951/ton on 1 February 2026 to roughly $12,747/ton by 26 April 2026 as the market normalizes from premium levels and sentiment cools from earlier “supercycle” narratives. The mildly downward path reflects softer near‑term demand—slower Chinese grid and property momentum, flat Western PMIs, and reduced restocking urgency—while leaving the longer‑term structural bull story (EVs, grid, data centers) intact rather than signaling the start of a cyclical bear market.

WTI crude is projected to drop 21.4% over the coming quarter, sliding from $89.33/bbl (29 Mar 2026) to $70.23/bbl by 21 Jun 2026 as the market shifts from a geopolitically tight narrative to one anchored in loosening physical balances, upside surprises in non‑OPEC+ supply, and persistent OPEC+ spare capacity that undermines the durability of recent cuts. Emerging inventory builds—transitioning from 2–3 mb weekly draws to net additions—signal a regime change in crude and product flows that historically drives a $10–15/bbl repricing lower, with this move skewed to the downside as elevated risk premia embedded above $85/bbl are stripped out.
Silver futures are forecast to stage only a muted rebound over the next quarter, inching up from 70.32 on 2026-04-05 to 70.54 by 2026-06-28 (≈0.3%), signaling stabilization after March’s capitulation-style 20% crash rather than the start of a new bull leg. With speculative longs largely flushed out, positioning skewed underweight, and most of the rate-shock repricing already absorbed, the market is set for range-bound trading and selective short-covering while a firmly hawkish Fed and higher real yields keep any rallies constrained and consistently sold.

Gold futures are poised for an orderly, late‑cycle grind higher, with prices forecast to climb from 4,526.0 on 2026-04-05 to 4,886.09 by 2026-06-28—an 8.0% gain—within a likely trading band of 4,350–4,950. The call is firmly bullish, anchored in a transition from plateau to easing in global policy rates, softening US real yields by roughly 40–60 bps, and ongoing structural central bank demand.
