    Commodities are gambling, not investing, unless you have insider data.

    You need to research demand trends and set a level of confidence for the demand in 2027. Is the world increasing electrification? Definitely. Then you need to research mining outputs and allocation of who is buying that copper. It’s work. Reading investment articles like this is a waste of time, they are written by commodities brokers looking to pump.

      That was my central point. The fundamentals obviously support higher prices, but this particular article is clickbait. Something can be correct while also being poorly sourced and formed. You don’t want to go long on futures based on a single “article.”
