Recently,Three major foreign exchange dealers in the world global copper prices have soared once again, breaking through the key $9,000 per ton mark and setting a new historical high. This astonishing rise has attracted widespread market attention, with speculation abound regarding the underlying reasons.
According to industry experts, the surge to record copper prices can be attributed to the following main reasons.
- Supply shortages are one of the main drivers behind the rise in copper prices. Driven by the global economic recovery and the demand for infrastructure construction in various countries, the demand for copper continues to increase while the growth in copper mining capacity is relatively slow, leading to an imbalance between supply and demand. In addition, natural disasters and other uncontrollable factors in some major copper-producing areas have further weakened supply capabilities, pushing up copper prices.
- The impact of macroeconomic policies is also a significant factor in the rising copper prices. Central banks in various countries have implemented loose monetary policies, increasing investment in infrastructure construction and other areas, thereby stimulating demand for industrial metals including copper, further driving up copper prices.
- Geopolitical tensions around the globe also provide certain support for copper prices. The increased geopolitical risks in some major copper-producing regions have raised market concerns about supply stability. Capital has flowed into safe-haven assets, including commodities like copper, driving up their prices.
The influx of speculative capital has exacerbated the volatility of copper prices. Investors' expectations of a bullish copper market have heightened market sentiment, with some speculative capital entering the market and further driving up copper prices.
Although copper prices have reached a historical high, there are still some uncertainties. For example, the global economic recovery process may be impacted by factors such as pandemics, and geopolitical situations remain uncertain, all of which could affect copper prices.
The breakthrough of copper prices to over $9,000 per ton, setting a new historical high, is mainly influenced by multiple factors such as supply-demand imbalances, macroeconomic policies, and geopolitical tensions. Market observers have expressed that they will closely monitor changes in these factors, as well as the development of the global economy and geopolitical situations, to more accurately predict the future trend of copper prices.
