Metals & mining (diversified) industry
Article Abstract:
Russian exports of aluminum saturated the market in the early 1990s and increased the supply. Supply has moderated, however, and increasing demand for aluminum is expected to increase prices. Aluminum industry stocks now have good long-term prospects. Copper supplies will also increase, especially from Latin America, along with demand in Asia. Copper stocks underperformed the market in 1995, and have low appreciation potential.

Metals & mining (diversified) industry
Article Abstract:
The aluminum and copper industries are affected by the Asian economic crisis. Aluminum demand is expected to be greater than supply throughout 1998 and conservative investors should probably not invest in the industry. Copper production continues to outpace demand during 1998. The US economy is expected to slowdown in the latter half of 1998.
