BHP expects copper market to remain in surplus until end of decade

Top global miner BHP Billiton expects the copper market to remain in surplus until the end of the decade, CFO Peter Beaven said on Tuesday.
Beaven told a briefing in London that the copper market was not expected to move to balance until about 2019 due to a surge of investment which has created higher supply.
