Copper in the Spotlight: BHP, Southern Copper and Power Metallic Mines
Copper prices remain elevated despite ongoing market volatility. Recent developments in the physical market have provided plenty of reasons for concern. Production in Chile, by far the world's largest copper-producing country, remains subdued and is declining at some operations. Strikes are looming at several mines. Most recently, Antofagasta reported the start of a work stoppage at its Centinela mine in the Andean nation. Adding to these concerns, Deutsche Bank's commodities team highlighted the geopolitical aspects in a recent study. Copper is essential to virtually every sector of the economy, from construction and power grids to manufacturing and AI data centres. According to the study, the US and China now control, directly or indirectly, 70% of global copper production. This presents a challenge for Europe and many other regions, where securing reliable supplies of critical raw materials remains a key strategic priority. Against this backdrop, we take a closer look at the copper market and the geopolitical tensions shaping it through three stocks: Power Metallic Mines, BHP and Southern Copper.

Copper at Record High: Investors Benefit from Ivanhoe Mines, Power Metallic Mines, and Southern Copper
Despite all the concerns about the global economy, copper continues to shine. The red industrial metal is currently trading at an all-time high, and nothing seems capable of derailing this trend. And that is clearly due to supply-side factors. The mudslide disaster at the massive Grasberg mine in Indonesia last September, as well as the recent slump in copper production in Chile (-14% in March), demonstrate just how fragile production is. And that is driving prices up. Banks such as Goldman Sachs and Commerzbank are now extremely bullish. The US investment bank recently raised its forecasts; it now predicts an average price of USD 13,800 per ton for 2027. The Frankfurt-based bank is singing the same tune and sees the price stabilizing in the USD 14,000 range.

BYD, Power Metallic Mines, Intel: Electric Vehicles and AI Data Centers Are Driving a Copper Crisis
The future runs on electricity, relies on AI, and is being held back by an unassuming metal. Copper, the "red gold" of the energy transition, is becoming a bottleneck. While data centers for language models and autonomous fleets are ramping up their capacity, the supply from mines is drying up. The London Metal Exchange recently reported a 150,000-ton deficit, a reversal of 350,000 tons within a year. Those who do not rethink their strategy now will miss out on the biggest redistribution since the oil shock. We are therefore taking a closer look at BYD as a representative of electric vehicle manufacturers, Power Metallic Mines with its polymetallic deposit rich in copper, and Intel as an indirect consumer of copper through its AI infrastructure.

First Majestic & Agnico Eagle are Shining, but Power Metallic Mines is the Real Hidden Gem!
The war in Iran has changed the world—and with it, the financial markets. High energy prices, rising inflation, and a dim economic outlook: Germany's economic experts have halved their 2026 growth forecast to a meagre 0.5%. At the same time, a recent Forsa survey shows that investors now consider gold more attractive than stocks; 30% view the precious metal as the investment with the highest long-term returns, while only 26% still prefer stocks. The price of gold has risen by over 30% in the past 12 months alone and is currently trading at over USD 4,500 per troy ounce. In this environment, the precious metals markets are going wild, rewarding investors who positioned themselves early. While world-renowned industry giants like First Majestic Silver and Agnico Eagle Mines shine with impressive record figures and massive cash flows, exciting explorers and juniors from the second tier are increasingly coming into the focus of investors. It is precisely at this point that an up-and-coming player enters the stage, offering a unique polymetallic strategy. Power Metallic Mines is not only demonstrating remarkable operational momentum but is also at an absolutely promising technical threshold. Investors looking to expand their investment focus beyond gold and silver to include essential battery metals and other metals should take a very close look now.

SELL BASF and Hensoldt? BUY Recommendation for Power Metallic Mines
Caution is advised with Hensoldt. Analysts see a potential 30% downside for the stock. The company is trading at a premium to industry peers such as Rheinmetall and Renk, despite slower growth. While the partnerships with Helsing and Schwarz Digits are interesting, they are unlikely to contribute significantly to revenue in the foreseeable future. In contrast, analysts see 100% upside potential for Power Metallic Mines, specifically in the base-case scenario. The first resource estimate is scheduled for this summer. According to analyst estimates, the company could thus transition from a pure exploration valuation to a resource-based valuation phase sooner than previously expected. Analysts foresee difficult times ahead for BASF. The structural problems remain unresolved, and the stock is a "Sell". The chemical giant is attempting to counter these challenges through optimization measures and the increased use of AI technologies.

Over 150% Upside Potential: Commodity Gem Power Metallic Mines Poised for Revaluation
The next Buy rating is here. Analysts at GBC Research published their inaugural report on Power Metallic Mines last week. Given the significant potential of the multi-metal project in Canada, they recommend the stock as a "Buy" and even see the possibility of a full revaluation. The price target is set at CAD 2.85, or EUR 1.81, implying a current upside potential of more than 150%. Recent drill results also indicate that Power Metallic Mines may currently be undervalued. The company hosts a world-class multi-metal deposit containing copper, platinum, palladium, cobalt, gold, and silver. The first resource estimate is expected soon, marking a key milestone for investors.

Why are Investors Overlooking Power Metallic Mines while Billionaires like Friedland, McEwen and Rinehart are Buying in?
16.55 meters at 10.08% copper, with 98.9% laboratory recovery. A shareholder roster that reads like a who's who of the global mining industry. By all accounts, a re-rating of Power Metallic should have occurred long ago. But it has not. The stock price is still languishing, while the company continues to deliver high-grade drill results in Québec. What explains this disconnect - and how much longer can it persist?

Lynas Rare Earths, Power Metallic Mines, Mosaic – 3 Winners in the Raw Materials War
The global battle for critical raw materials is intensifying. Resources such as rare earth elements, copper, nickel, and cobalt are indispensable for electric mobility, wind power, and power grids, but also for modern defense technology. While China still controls large parts of global processing, the US, Europe, and their partners are attempting to establish new supply chains through multi-billion-dollar programs. Mining projects, recycling processes, and strategic partnerships are therefore moving into focus in this geopolitical race. For commodity companies, this environment is turning critical minerals into one of the defining investment themes of the coming years.
