Copper Investment: After the record rise in gold and silver, now investors’ attention seems to be turning to copper. Amidst the fluctuations in the stock market, interest in commodities has increased and copper is being considered as the next big bet in this trend.

Copper investment details: According to the London Metal Exchange (LME), copper has reached its highest level since March 2022. Meanwhile, on January 6, 2026, copper set a new record of $ 6.069 per pound on the American commodity exchange COMEX.

This is an increase of approximately 60 percent in one year. In India too, there has been an increase of about 36 percent in the future price of copper in the last one year. This has made it among the best performing commodities.

Many big reasons are being given for this surge. Rapid expansion of the electric vehicle sector, rising demand for data center infrastructure, strong defense consumption and most importantly limited supply of copper have supported the prices.

According to Ross Maxwell, Global Strategy Operations Lead at VT Markets, demand to electrification is continuously increasing, while physical supply remains limited. A weak dollar and expectations of low interest rates have also increased investors’ confidence in taking risks.

According to brokerage reports, America has surplus stock of copper, but there is a shortage in the rest of the world. For this reason, there is upward pressure on prices in the global market.

However, there is currently no direct and safe way of investing in copper easily available for retail investors in India. There are neither copper ETFs nor copper mutual funds in the country. Also, there is no organized option for investing in physical copper rods or coins.

At present the only option is copper futures on MCX, but the risk is very high. One futures contract is of 2.5 tonnes, which creates a large exposure. Sharp fluctuations in prices can also cause huge losses to investors.
