What Was the Highest Price for Copper?

Strong demand in the face of looming supply shortages has pushed copper to new heights in recent years.

With a wide range of applications in nearly every sector, copper is by far the most industrious of the base metals. In fact, for decades, the copper price has been a key indicator of global economic health, earning the red metal the moniker “Dr. Copper.” Rising prices tend to signal a strong global economy, while a significant longer-term drop in the price of copper is often a symptom of economic instability.

After bottoming out at US$2.17 per pound, or US$5,203.58 per metric ton (MT), in mid-March 2020, copper has largely been on an upward trajectory.

Codelco Seeks Partial Restart at El Teniente Mine After Fatal Collapse

Chile’s state-owned copper giant Codelco is seeking approval to restart parts of its flagship El Teniente mine less than a week after a deadly collapse killed six workers and forced a full suspension of operations, according to sources familiar with the matter.

The accident, triggered by a 4.2-magnitude seismic event last Thursday (July 31), halted production at the world’s largest underground copper mine.

Anglo American’s Losses Widen with Diamond Slump, Trade Tensions Mounting

Anglo American (LSE:AAL,OTC Pink:AAUKF) reported a sharp US$1.9 billion net loss for the first half of 2025, deepening from US$672 million a year earlier, as the global miner pushed forward with a sweeping corporate overhaul aimed at focusing on copper and iron ore.

The London-based group’s latest results saw revenue dropping by 7 percent year-on-year to US$8.95 billion, falling short of analyst expectations, while underlying EBITDA fell 20 percent to US$3 billion.

“By focusing on our exceptional copper, premium iron ore and crop nutrients resource endowments, each with significant value-accretive growth options, we are unlocking material value for our shareholders,” Chief Executive Duncan Wanblad assured in the company’s recent performance report.

Peter Grandich: Copper, Uranium in "Perfect Storm," My Strategy Now

Peter Grandich of Peter Grandich & Co. underscored the fundamentals of the uranium market and his expectations for equities.

"I don't think uranium has to go to US$200 in order to make money,” Grandich said. "I just think it needs to go back to where it was a couple years ago, a little above US$100, and these stocks will quadruple."

Top 5 Junior Copper Stocks on the TSXV in 2025

The copper price climbed to a record high of US$5.64 per pound on the COMEX during Q2.

The rise came on the back of escalating trade tensions and economic chaos caused by US tariffs.

While copper was initially spared from tariffs at the start of the year, US President Donald Trump announced the country would be imposing a 50 percent tariff on all copper products entering the US. The news sparked speculative buying by US metals traders, who sought to position themselves ahead of the yet-to-be-announced tariff deadline.

Barrick Backs Hercules in Leviathan-Linked Copper Expansion

Hercules Metals (TSXV:BIG,OTCQB:BADEF) has entered into a transformative agreement with Barrick Mining (TSX:ABX,NYSE:B) to acquire a vast package of unpatented copper claims surrounding its Leviathan discovery in western Idaho.

Hercules will have the option to acquire a 100 percent interest in more than 74,000 acres of claims, collectively known as the Olympus belt, that flank both sides of the company’s existing Hercules property.

If exercised, the deal would expand Hercules’ total land position from 26,000 acres to over 100,000 acres, granting it control over a 73 kilometer stretch of highly prospective terrain.

The transaction is structured as an option agreement through Hercules’ US subsidiary, Anglo-Bomarc, with Barrick Gold Exploration, a wholly owned subsidiary of Barrick Mining.
