New Energy market report from Business Monitor International: "Peru Power Report Q3 2014"

This view is predicated on our bearish outlook for metals prices, which is in turn a consequence of our below-consensus view on economic growth in China, the world's largest copper consumer. Indeed, a slowdown in mining activity would not only damage the...
