Silver to the moon...Copper next?

[GhostRider25]

silver and copper are very frequently mined together.   much more often than not, silver is a by product of what is actually being mined at a location.  only about 20 percent of the mines are 'silver mines',  they are copper mines, lead mines, etc and silver happens to be there too.  silver is also a byproduct of gold mining.

try to keep things in an honest perspective.

Goldman Sachs: Expects copper to hit record highs in the first half of 2026 (targeting $13,000/metric ton, which is roughly $5.90/lb) before a slight correction.
J.P. Morgan: More bullish, seeing prices average $12,500/metric ton (±$5.67/lb) but potentially spiking much higher if Chinese demand from grid modernization accelerates.

if we think about basic supply and demand well in theory yes copper might be next especially after AI & Data Center Shock & The EV Multiplyer

[GhostRider25]

A lesser thought about but about to become critical is CRGO or GOES steel.
the infrastructure is dying fast.  They can't keep up with electrical demand as it is now, and are expected to double and triple it in the next few decades.  not just ai data centers but electric vehicles too.  Takes a special steel for ultra efficient transformers and motors.  Boiler steel for the hrsg's too, only gets poured a few times a year.  invest in the companies who make that and you'll be doing well there too.

the entire grid eventually will need to be upgraded.  that's money, and resources, a bunch of new transformers etc etc.

What makes you believe that the price of silver will continue to rise? Silver is also a precious metal, but note that it is not gold and cannot be compared to gold. The demand for silver comes primarily from industrial sectors, rather than as a financial investment asset like gold.

I know they are different, and I'm not comparing them. But it's a mistake to think that investors don't see silver as an asset for investment.

Regarding the price, theoretically, with increased demand, the price could also rise. I'm not an expert, it's just my opinion, pure speculation, since nobody here is certain of anything.

The price of copper is lower than gold and silver, but that does not mean it is still cheap. They have different roles, as well as different sources of supply and demand.

I see that, once again, I know that each of them plays a different role. It's also possible that, as demand increases, copper could appreciate in value and be a good source of profit in the long term.

Note that we are talking about scarce resources, just as it is expected that with the issuance/mining of the "last bitcoin" the price will rise, right?

Comparing copper to gold and silver and claiming it is cheaper is like comparing bitcoin to shitcoin and saying shitcoin is cheaper.

Again, I didn't compare them. But I believe they are all assets for investment; it's a matter of choice. Each person follows a pattern of thought and invests in what attracts them.

All cryptocurrencies that are highly valued today were once "cheap," including Bitcoin. I return to the issue of preference; what is a "shitcoin" to you may not be to another investor.

Silver has reached its peak and there will be no more increases in the future, and now it is slowly correcting, the market winds have subsided and we will face the days as usual again, there will be no more unreasonable spikes for Silver or even gold, unless the government is unable to secure the economic situation and political tensions will have an impact on safe haven assets such as gold and silver, at that time the price may return again, if not, how can someone think pessimistically and the market begins to lose its confidence because the main goal is not to have assets but to survive.

silver will to the moon in a few weeks time.
why not... it has just as much reason to do that then your scenario where it'll just go down... unless it doesn't...

With Silver getting all of the attention recently, I'm wondering if Copper would be next? I know Silver is a precious metal, whereas Copper is not. But Copper is widely used for electronics, the same way as Silver. The utility aspect of Copper should make it valuable in the long run. Am I right?

If that's the case, how high do you think copper will go in the future? At least, one year from now. Right now, Copper is valued at $5.84 per pound. It can easily reach $10 per pound.

Thoughts?

Although silver has recently gained some popularity among people and has many uses, it is likely to become more profitable in the future. However, copper is not very popular and is not used much at present except for essential work, but we can certainly hope that it will become very necessary for people in the future. Since the price of copper is currently in a somewhat good position, its price will definitely rise higher in the future. As you have thought, copper may reach that level in the future, but it will take some time and its price will increase when it becomes more acceptable to people.

Are you kidding right?
Copper demand is exploding right now. Just think of wiring for electric grid. If I know something about the future is that way more electric power will be needed. That power runs on copper.

India being the largest country in the world and also the majority of its population is under 30 is massive.  The growth likely just from that one country is big and even China just growing richer will alter alot and create alot of demand for copper.
  The problem with China's housing boom is they overly focused on purely the building alone and in a very compact way, when to have all a town requires is complex in multiple connections especially involving electricity and copper for the infrastructure.  Doing all that properly  is ten years worth of copper mining at current production, even a rough estimate has copper very bullish.
  Consider how weak currency is and its likely the price is gaining long term, how much we don't know but I do think electric taking over some from oil also has some effect in helping that demand.

You think? Because geopolitical tensions are still high. Especially with US President Donald Trump's uncertainty. Investors are in "fear mode", so they will keep buying and accumulating precious metals until the dust settles. It's going to be a long ride. Perhaps, the dip to $77 per Silver ounce is only temporary. We may never see such "low" prices again.

Despite the craze, Silver is still undervalued. Some say it should be trading at a 12:1 ratio against Gold. This translates into more than $400 per ounce. Copper will also experience a surge in market prices, although not at the same level as the aforementioned metals. Per pound, Copper can easily reach $10+. It should only be a matter of time before this happens. These are wild times, so anything's possible.

Silver rally was hype driven, it was not pure demand so expect price to correct. If bitcoin is correcting, silver will correct harder. It resembles bitcoin and altcoin relationship.
Although, as long as there is uncertainty about the situation of the world. The people from higher class to lower class of economic will always try to hoard silver the same way they hoarded gold.

If you're thinking of shorting the silver, just forget it. The risk is higher than the potential profit at the time being.

No one is interested in Copper because it is not related to gold and  gold is high in price as comparison to silver and silver is looking best investment for most of the people and if people will earn more money from silver then that is best for them because they generate good amount of profit by Investing a little amount of money. Copper demand is high but it's demand is on Industrial basis because Industries need that and copper supply is also high and gives sign of market and it's price is stable at that time and if there will be any war then it will go down as comparison to other metals and we know that silver demand is high and its supply is limited and nobody want to sell it if it has in his pocket because it is good investment for the future.

Nobody interested in copper because price is too low and everybody could buy it. It doesn't have that prestige that gold is having and silver is having to some extent. It doesn't get any demand from the luxury sector where money is big, and as you said it come purely from industrial demand.
When the demand in the market comes purely from industrial, the market will try to keep the price stable. Like it or not, beside from utilization, demand also come from hype and everybody is trying to hoard gold.

Yes, that could happen. I agree with you. But we need to assess the market situation, the economic and geopolitical conditions themselves. If the hype surrounding precious metal prices doesn't subside and worsens, there will be optimism for an increase. I strongly believe that if this conflict continues and investors panic about their country's economic strength, they will certainly seek safe havens, including copper. Essentially, precious metals will be the primary target in such a situation.

Should I continue buying other precious metals, including copper, to preserve my money, or even seek profit?

If it was driven by hype, that would make Silver no different than any ordinary cryptocurrency (altcoins). I guess that's why some people were comparing Silver to "shitcoins". It went sky high over a brief period, only to fall drastically in price after the hype. And yet I've thought demand was real this time, driven by the AI boom and limited production of Silver. I guess, all good things come to an end. In the short term, of course.

Long-term speaking, Silver should go well beyond just $100 per ounce. It's been a good ride for all of those who bought Silver within the $20 - $30 range (myself included). The bottom seems to be $75 per ounce. Maybe now it's a good time to buy more Silver?

[GhostRider25]

silver has historically kept around 40 to 1   50 to 1 with gold.  i used to play the ratios back in the days and made a little money off it.
so with that.  80 to 100 an oz, with gold currently at 5000 is about right.

platinum used to be the 'expensive' metal. at times 20 percent above gold.  now gold is way above it, and plat has just as much industrial / medical use as the rest do.  pmg's are used in medical, auto's, chemical etc.

pmg's are also a hell of a lot harder to process / find / manu than gold, so one could also wonder when platinum is going to catch up and hoard that.
