AI drives demand: Three copper stocks for the boom - Freeport-McMoRan, Power Metallic Mines, and Aurubis!
A few years ago, copper was considered one of the most boring metals. Demand grew steadily, but not dramatically. The red metal was used everywhere, from construction to power lines, but it lacked appeal. And the price remained so low that there was hardly any investment in the development of new deposits over the past decade. With the AI revolution and global electrification, this has changed dramatically. Copper is the most efficient electrical conductor after silver and now plays a major role. For example, an electric vehicle requires three to four times more copper than a combustion engine. Added to this are wind turbines, solar parks, and the massive expansion and modernization of power grids. Analysts estimate that by 2040, the world will need to produce more copper than humanity has consumed in its entire history. After electric vehicles, artificial intelligence has triggered the next wave of demand due to the enormous power requirements of data centers. The huge server farms of NVIDIA, Google, Amazon, and others require kilometers of copper cable and massive copper rails for power distribution. As a result, there is now renewed investment in new copper deposits. Investors should diversify their portfolios to benefit from this development in the long term.

Freeport-McMoRan, Desert Gold Ventures, Rio Tinto – Investing in the future
What happens after Jackson Hole? Following Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell's speech, which boosted the markets with the prospect of possible interest rate cuts later this year, Nvidia's earnings report on Wednesday will take center stage this week. Any disappointment could cause recent gains to vanish into thin air. Meanwhile, the price of gold remains stable and, after a brief sideways movement, could take off to new heights.

Everything is going electric – and this detail could make investors wealthy: Power Metallic Mines, Rio Tinto, Freeport-McMoRan
The future is electric – heating systems and vehicles are already running on electricity today. Those with their own rooftop solar panels welcome this shift, as solar energy becomes essentially free after the initial investment. But this transition also requires massive investment. Experts at EY report that global electrification will require 115% more copper to be mined over the next thirty years than has been mined in all of human history. The scale of the challenge is, therefore, enormous. Making copper mining sustainable is even more so. But there are solutions.

Encavis, Globex Mining, Freeport-McMoRan - Like in a fairy tale
Germany still has 22 years to achieve its goal of climate neutrality. By then, electricity will be generated purely from the sun and wind, and buildings will be so perfectly insulated that they will no longer need to be heated. Cars will only be fueled by electricity or green hydrogen. On paper, the energy mix transformation reads simple, but the implementation seems almost impossible, given current developments. Massive problems are likely to arise in procuring critical raw materials, as global demand is already outstripping supply for many metals.

BYD, Globex Mining, Newmont, Freeport-McMoRan - Copper with doubling potential
The price of copper has lost around a third since March of the current stock market year. Investors are selling the metal, which is known as an economic barometer, due to global recession fears and concerns of a drop in demand. However, due to the great importance of copper with regard to the energy turnaround, the tide is likely to turn again soon. Mining companies and commodity traders are already warning of a massive shortage of the world's most important metal. Goldman Sachs expects the price of copper to reach USD 15,000 per ton by 2025, which would mean a doubling of the current level.

BYD, Phoenix Copper, Freeport-McMoRan - The supercycle is on
Inflation has risen again in the US, posting its highest level since February 1982 at 7.5%. Experts do not yet see any easing in the face of high energy and commodity prices. On the contrary, the inflationary spiral continues to spin and is being further fueled by policymakers' increasingly ambitious climate neutrality targets. Here, especially the required materials such as copper, lithium and cobalt could multiply. Due to high demand and low supply, further bottlenecks, delays in supply chains and thus rising prices are only a matter of time. Profit from it.

Daimler, QMines, Freeport McMoRan, Glencore, BMW - The Gold of Energy Transition
It is not without reason that copper is currently at a 10-year high. On the one hand, the recovering economies in China and the USA have enormously boosted demand for the metal. On the other hand, copper is one of the most important metals in the energy transition. Demand for solar modules, wind turbines and electric cars already exceeded supply last year. Yet, the new technologies are only at the beginning of a new cycle. The copper shortage is expected to increase dramatically in the next ten years. Profit from the new gold.

Kodiak Copper, Freeport-McMoRan, Millennial Lithium: The copper rally continues!
The whole world revolves around e-mobility, alternatively hydrogen, and everything is to be paid with cryptocurrencies in the future. That is the stock market at the turn of the year in one sentence. Wherever these topics are mentioned, prices go through the roof. Elon Musk can even turn bad Tesla numbers into a price increase with appropriate music, and tweeting the latest findings makes some people a few million heavier overnight. The copper market is a key control variable for technological developments in drives and storage media. We can't get around this commodity in the real world because it is in very short supply on the planet. So it shouldn't be surprising if the hype here goes on and on.
