最新报道:Copper prices surged to $10,225, settling at $10,125 amid a 2% dip, driven by demand from electric vehicles (using 80–100 kg per car), green energy (solar requiring ~4 tonnes per megawatt), and AI data centers (adding 15–20% annual demand growth). Supply disruptions, including a Grasberg mine accident cutting 400,000 tonnes and Chile's ore grade decline, pushed futures to a two-month high above $4.85/lb. Analysts project demand rising from 26 Mt in 2024 to 36 Mt by 2035, with prices potentially reaching $5 by year-end.
