The energy transition continues to gather pace. It really took off in 2020, when major economic stimulus packages were launched. There is currently estimated to be a gap of 40 million tons of copper between supply and demand in order to achieve the ambitious net-zero targets by 2050. Electric vehicles and the power grid in particular consume copper. Initially, a copper surplus was expected for the current year. However, a deficit now seems more likely.

The reasons for this include production cuts at Anglo American and the closure of the Cobre Panama mine. This is a ten billion US dollar copper mine that is now lying idle in the jungle. And it was the country’s most important project since the Panama Canal and would have contributed to the global copper supply. The good fundamentals have boosted the copper price this year. Large Chinese and Zambian copper smelters have already cut back their production because they are suffering from a shortage of raw materials or electricity problems. And with copper stocks at an all-time low, companies with copper in their projects should now be in the right place.

It is well known that gold investments are very popular with investors and that gold investments belong in every well-diversified portfolio. In 2023, the price of gold ended the year well above USD 2,000 per troy ounce. Many gold mining stocks have not yet followed suit. The gold price has been supported above all by central bank purchases. Many analysts believe that the undervaluation of gold shares compared to gold has never been as high as it is now. So, it’s time to take a closer look at companies that own gold and copper.
