The copper price seems to have overcome the worst

In May, a tonne of copper cost significantly more than USD 10,000. The price then fell sharply for several months due to overcapacity. As China is the world’s most important copper consumer, the ongoing crisis in the real estate sector has had an impact. And the Chinese economy is also weakening. Prices then started to rise again. Currently, the price of the reddish metal has broken through the USD 9,000 mark. Metals in general are on the rise as China loosens its gold policy. Not only copper, but also zinc and iron ore have recovered in price. According to China’s Politburo, a more proactive financial policy and a moderately loose monetary policy must be implemented. Consumption must be boosted, and domestic demand must be increased.

The Chinese real estate sector accounts for around 25 percent of copper demand. The global composite PMI index has now also risen to 52.4 because China, the USA and India are showing positive momentum. In India, economic growth is particularly positive. The PMI (Purchasing Managers Index) is regarded as the most important and reliable leading indicator for economic activity. Europe is struggling to halt the economic decline. In China, metal traders are expecting a recovery, although the Chinese government may not yet publish this as it is still waiting for the actions of the new US President Trump.

In addition to Chinese copper demand, the copper price depends on the demand for renewable energies, i.e. solar modules, wind turbines and electric vehicles, as they all consume more and more copper, as these are growing sectors. Promising mining companies that have copper in their projects alongside investor favorite gold include Meridian Mining and U.S. GoldMining.
