This is your Daily Copper Price Tracker with Vanessa Clark podcast.
Welcome to the Daily Copper Price Tracker. I’m Vanessa Clark, and I’m here to help you stay current with the latest copper news, price trends, and what’s moving the market, all in a quick, easy listen.
Let’s jump right in with today’s numbers. As of November 7, copper is trading around four dollars and ninety-five cents per pound. That’s slightly down from the previous day, continuing a downward trend that’s lasted through most of the past week. In fact, copper has dipped almost two and a half percent over the week, closing at four dollars and ninety-four cents per pound for the front-month contract. For context, we’re well below this summer’s highs near five dollars and eighty cents but still up almost twenty-four percent from last year’s lows. If you track copper prices for manufacturing or investment, now’s a good time to keep a close eye—the metal is showing a lot of volatility.
So what’s causing these swings? Several big factors are in play. First, global risk-off sentiment. Stock markets and other commodities have been rattled by uncertain data out of China and the United States. China’s exports have slipped, and its copper import growth has slowed, which weighs directly on demand. There’s speculation Beijing might clamp down on new copper smelting projects to curb overcapacity, which could eventually support prices if supply tightens.
Here in the United States, copper just got added to the critical minerals list for 2025. That’s huge news. The government’s decision recognizes copper’s essential role in electric vehicles, renewable energy, and data centers—and it means new incentives, faster permitting, and even potential access to Defense Production Act funding. With global copper consumption expected to rise thirty-five percent by 2035, especially for clean energy and tech infrastructure, demand looks strong even as new mining supply tightens.
But that long-term bullish outlook is running into short-term headwinds. Investors have pulled back after a recent rally, worried about weak economic data, stretched valuations in artificial intelligence-linked stocks, and the ongoing US government shutdown. Inventory levels remain tight enough to support prices, but for now, the market’s trending lower. Some analysts believe copper would need sustained bullish momentum to break above that five dollars twenty level and start a real rally again.
If you work in electronics, construction, or renewable energy, or you just invest in commodities, my tip is to monitor both supply-side moves in Asia and policy changes in the US. Policy recognition always brings shifts in capital and regulation, which can shape prices for months to come. And keep an eye on inventory signals—tight supply can swing the price on short notice.
