BlackRock’s Evy Hambro expects bulk commodities to remain oversupplied, although he forecasts an improvement in the supply-demand balance for some base metals. Hambro also forecasts that more mining companies will discontinue production at some mines during 2016, and he says the downturn in the crude oil price is unsustainable and it will begin to rebound. BlackRock is a major shareholder of leading mining groups such as BHP Billiton, Rio Tinto and Glencore.
