Frequently Asked Questions
Why is copper called "Dr. Copper"?
Copper is used in construction, manufacturing, electronics, EVs, and energy infrastructure — touching virtually every sector of the economy. When copper prices rise, it signals expanding economic activity (more buildings, factories, cars). Copper has historically led stock market turns by 3-6 months, earning its doctorate in economics.
How will EV transition impact copper demand?
A conventional ICE car uses ~22 kg of copper. An EV uses ~83 kg. With global EV sales targeting 50M+ units by 2030, this alone adds 3M+ tonnes of annual copper demand. Combined with solar/wind installations and grid upgrades, copper faces a structural supply deficit by 2027.
