Copper Hits $11,771 Price Record as Favorable Market Conditions Prevail

This week, the price of a ton of copper briefly reached the unprecedented $11,771 price for each ton of the metal as several factors combined to boost the metal’s price. In the U.S., the Fed lowered its benchmark lending rate by 25 basis points. Such rate reductions weaken the dollar and make dollar-priced commodities more affordable for holders of other currencies. However, the biggest positive signal for the metal came from China. A crucial policymakers’ meeting announced that the top goal for China in 2026 would be economic growth. The meeting vowed to implement a fiscal policy that was “more…

Gold Could Reach $5,000 in 2026, Heraeus Analysts Say

According to a recently published 2026 outlook for precious metals, analysts at Heraeus predict that robust investment demand, central bank purchases and concerns about fiscal dominance could cause the price of gold to climb significantly in H2 in 2026.
