The main reason for this was the enormous fiscal and monetary policy stimulus. The Bloomberg Commodity Spot Index, for example, rose by 27 percent last year. This was the biggest annual increase since the financial crisis in 2009, when governments and central banks provided a lot of fresh money. Energy stocks such as natural gas, crude oil and coal performed particularly well in 2021. But zinc also achieved an increase of around 30 percent, and copper, for example, rose in price by well over 20 percent.

Today, the price of zinc is around US$3.500; the peak price in 2021 was just under US$4,000. Copper, the stimulus metal, gained in price as the Corona vaccination campaign progressed and the prospects for an improvement in the economy were realized. The average global copper price in 2021 was around US$9,300 per ton. The copper price reached a record high of US$10,724.50 per ton in May 2021. The reddish metal then traded below the US$10,000 mark but made it back up to just under US$9,880 in November 2021.

With the use of copper in environmentally friendly technologies on the rise, copper should be in high demand in the coming years. Whether in electric cars or in the construction of wind turbines, copper is always part of the green energy transition. Copper in the projects own, for example, Aurania Resources or Aztec Minerals.
