Goldman Sachs has released a report on Chinese commodities predicting that China's commodity demand will enter a more stable phase this year, with annual growth rates mostly ranging from -1.3% to 2%, gradually recovering quarter by quarter starting 2H25.

For most commodities, the supply-demand balance fundamentals are stable, and the macro environment appears favorable. Given last year's strong spot prices and excellent stock performance, however, the marginal change in supply outlook will determine the future direction of prices and profit margins, and they will be dominated by three key themes: supply discipline and response, anti-involution, as well as M&A and asset injections.
