A price of more than US$11,000 per ton of copper is likely to please investors and companies with copper holdings. The reddish metal is in short supply. Just recently, the price of copper reached a new record high of US$11,800 per ton. Copper is likely to be the winner among industrial metals. Overall, metal markets have posted a hefty gain this year, more than 20 percent. It is electromobility and the growing field of artificial intelligence that are responsible for the expansion of data centers and are driving copper demand and prices.

The copper price has certainly also benefited from US monetary policy and the improved economic outlook in the US. And copper is an essential industrial metal in both the energy transition and the technology sector. Chile is the most important copper-producing country. And production there declined slightly in the first ten months of 2025. So supply is declining and demand is rising. Mining companies in Chile now want to invest more. Then there is still the concern about what will happen with possible tariffs. A further rise in the copper price is therefore more than possible.
