Copper Hoarding in the US Could Drive Prices to Unexpected Highs

Prices of copper have soared in 2025, with the metal reaching several record highs along the way. As the year comes to an end, several analysts are forecasting that this rally could carry on into 2026 fueled by a number of factors.

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.

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