The early warning indicator for copper does not bode well, as the price of the red metal has slipped significantly. The raw material, which is mainly used in the construction industry, is trading around 20 percent lower than at the beginning of the year. According to experts, a further price decline is possible before a strong recovery can set in, both from a fundamental and a technical point of view. Copper is an important raw material not only in the construction industry, but also in the energy and telecommunications sectors. Shortly after the start of the Ukraine-Russia war, copper had reached the recent record high, then the economic upheaval caused prices to fall. A stronger US dollar and weaker global economic growth are currently affecting base metals, especially copper. Added to this is the Fed’s interest rate tightening and China’s zero-covid policy.

But when the fears of recession subside and the supply chains start to function better again, copper will once more present itself as the metal it actually is, also in terms of price. Namely, an indispensable component of the future. May the Fed’s hopes come true that U.S. inflation moves back away from 40-year highs and settles at a tolerable level of around two percent. Significant new copper production is not expected, and the quality of copper deposits continues to deteriorate. Then, when comeback opportunities manifest themselves, it should be good to have invested in copper and persevered through the lean period. Copper is owned by Copper Mountain Mining or Kutcho Copper, for example.
