Near-term battery demand could spike as countries use batteries to buffer energy crisis, benefiting battery makers like CATL and LG Chem, which are leaders in the space.
Bank of America lowered its Brent crude forecast to about $70 for the second half and next year. The market is expected to shift from small deficits to surplus as supply normalises, while demand is structurally weak—China's oil imports dropped ~30%, implying an underlying demand decline of around 10% with permanent replacement by electric trucks and alternative chemicals.
Among metals, copper stands out because supply is very tight while demand enjoys strong support. Even with a strong dollar and potential US rate hikes, copper's supply-demand fundamentals should allow it to outperform other metals.
Gold is more of a "belief" metal compared to copper, lacking a strong fundamental demand driver like grid buildout. Near-term clients are concerned about gold due to rate-hike expectations and a strong US dollar, and the rate-cut momentum that supported gold is fading.
Global AI capex is expected to grow five-fold to $1.7 trillion by 2030, driving massive demand for power infrastructure. The battery supply chain benefits from this buildout: upstream lithium, midstream battery names like CATL, and downstream players like Tesla and Sungrow should all perform well.

Energy prices will be higher for longer due to the Iran war disruption, benefiting upstream oil and gas companies like PetroChina, which has exposure to higher crude and gas prices.
