Copper is a base metal with very high electrical and thermal conductivity. Mines, concentrates, smelters, refineries, scrap flows and inventories form a global supply chain.
Major applications include power grids, buildings, motors, electronics, vehicles, renewable energy, pipes and heat exchangers. Product form, specification and purity must remain consistent in price comparisons.
Key price factors include global growth, electrification, mine disruptions, treatment charges, exchange stocks, energy, currencies and recycling. Origin, delivery terms and contract volumes also affect achievable prices.
