Surge in Copper Prices by 30% Boosts Mining Stocks: An Investment Opportunity in Copper Coins (COP)

  • Copper prices have hit a record high, leading to rallies for top copper mining stocks Newmont (NEM) and Freeport-McMoRan (FCX).
  • The surge in copper prices is due to concerns of insufficient supply as demand increases from sectors such as artificial intelligence, cryptocurrency data centers, electric vehicles, and renewable energy.
  • Global data-center power demand is expected to increase at a 15% compound annual growth rate to 2026, leading to a new demand for copper against a forecast supply gap of 4 million metric tons by 2030.

As copper prices soar, top mining stocks Newmont and Freeport-McMoRan are rallying, with both stocks currently in buy zones. The surge in copper prices is driven by increasing demand from sectors such as AI, cryptocurrency, EVs, and renewable energy.
