Key commodities

Strong fundamentals

Copper’s demand is projected to grow due to its essential role in electrification, renewable energy, and other technological advancements.

Copper is critical for national infrastructure, making it a geopolitically important metal.

Capital in copper development is constrained and exploration and development (brownfield and greenfield) is at historic lows.

Large copper mines are increasingly difficult to find and develop, leading to a long-term supply deficit.

Due to size, global scale, physical & paper markets, arbitrage around location, time, quality, particularly in concentrates.
