On the London Metal Exchange, copper for delivery in three months was trading at US$11,540 per tonne – a record price. Imports of copper components in semi-finished products into the US are subject to a 50% tariff. Copper ores are (still) exempt. But the future is uncertain, so warehouses in the US are being filled up. This copper probably comes from warehouses on the exchanges in Asia and Europe. On the supply side, there are still production interruptions in the mines. For example, a major mine in the Democratic Republic of Congo has significantly reduced its production forecasts. The second-largest mine in Indonesia is still shut down after an accident.
Supply bottlenecks are therefore looming, and if demand growth increases in 2026, the outlook for copper prices and copper companies looks good. Copper mine operators have performed above average this year. Industry heavyweight Glencore is planning to significantly increase copper production in the coming years. Looking at China, the most important sales market, sentiment indices for the construction industry and the official purchasing managers' index for the manufacturing sector are disappointing, but there is hope. Namely, that the Chinese government will support the economy with new measures next year.
This year, copper (and silver) has surpassed gold as the top precious metals, driven by supply fears. Investments in companies with copper in their projects could therefore be a lucrative opportunity.
