Latest Market Update
August 2025: Copper Market Analysis
Updated: Aug 26, 2025Copper prices have maintained their upward momentum, driven by robust demand from the renewable energy sector and electric vehicle manufacturing. Global copper inventories on major exchanges have declined to multi-year lows, while Chile's production continues to face challenges from aging mines and labor disputes.
Key Market Drivers
- Exchange inventories at critical levels
- Strong demand from renewable energy projects
- Supply constraints in major producing regions
- Growing EV sector consumption
Price Outlook
We expect copper to trade in the $8,800-9,200/mt range through September, supported by tight physical market conditions and growing clean energy demand.
