About Copper
Copper is often called 'Dr. Copper' because its price is considered a reliable leading indicator of global economic health. It is essential for electricity transmission, construction, and manufacturing. The energy transition — EVs, wind turbines, power grids — is projected to significantly increase long-term copper demand.
