🚨Copper just hit $14,000/ton
Goldman, Citi and HSBC all published bullish notes today.
And Codelco, the world's largest copper producer, just fired its CEO over inflated production figures.
The supply crisis just got a leadership crisis on top. ⛏️
3 things happened simultaneously today that every copper investor needs to understand:
1️⃣The banks officially joined the trade:
→ Goldman Sachs: lifted end-2026 target +10% to $13,735 cut global mine supply estimates by 350,000 tons
→ Citi: $14,500 this month. $15,000 within a year.
→ HSBC: overlaid the Hormuz "super-squeeze" thesis on top of the structural deficit
Ex-US copper deficit projected to balloon 10x to 640,000 tons. 💰
2️⃣The supply problem is structural:
→ Grasberg (world's 2nd copper mine): still recovering from September 2025 underground flood. Force majeure still active. Full capacity: not before 2028.
→ Kamoa-Kakula: cut 2026 guidance by 22% after seismic disruption. Same timeline.
2 of the world's most important copper mines simultaneously impaired for multiple years.
On the demand side: nothing has softened.
Grid expansion, EVs, AI data centers, defence all absorbing copper faster than the market can supply⚡
3️⃣CODELCO – Corporación Nacional del Cobre de Chile the world's largest copper producer just changed CEO:
Jorge Gomez named to replace Rubén Alvarado who exits amid a scandal over inflated production figures.
This is Chile's state copper giant.
397,000 tonnes in Q4 2025.
Second only to BHP globally.
When the world's largest copper producer has a production credibility problem in the middle of a structural supply squeeze that is is signal. 🌍
I published and article"Copper Is Up 77% and 2 US Mid-Caps Own The AI Bottleneck" on May 15.
The structural setup behind that thesis hasn't changed.
and the 2 companies that I analysed had a massive rally.
Full analysis in the comments below. 👇
Does anyone have any experience of doing a Bed and ISA with IG before?
How does the selling and buying work with the spread, and does it mean I will end up owning less shares once transferred to the ISA?
#Copper - Copper supply is tighter than expected. Guidance cuts from Anglo American (10%), Teck (~20%), Freeport (35% for 2026), and others. Tariff risks and strong demand from data centers, AI, and electrification.
Justo hoy, Netanyahu lanza su ataque más duro contra el Líbano desde que empezó la ofensiva.
Su desprecio por la vida y el derecho internacional es intolerable.
Toca hablar claro:
- Líbano debe formar parte del alto al fuego.
- La comunidad internacional debe condenar esta nueva violación del derecho internacional.
- La Unión Europea debe suspender su Acuerdo de Asociación con Israel.
- Y no debe haber impunidad ante estos actos criminales.
Carnivore & keto diets are great, especially for inflammation, insulin resistance & weight loss, but can be difficult to maintain. I tried keto for a month & noticed a huge positive difference in energy levels & overall health. I’ve moved to a low carb diet with intermittent fasting, which is also working well.
@sciencegirl Interesting designs, but most look overdesigned or overcomplicated. Would have been better to use triangles / trusses and keep the spans short.
