Copper Supply Squeeze Intensifies as Key Spread Reaches Highest Level Since 2021

14 Ağustos 2026Bloomberg

Spot copper prices are currently rising above future prices on the London Metal Exchange, indicating a market condition known as backwardation. This situation suggests a significant tightening of supply, with immediate demand outpacing future availability.
As a result, the copper market is experiencing increased volatility and heightened investor interest.
Backwardation occurs when spot prices exceed future prices, often signaling supply shortages or increased demand. The current state of the copper market reflects broader economic trends, including the transition to green technologies that heavily rely on copper.
The current backwardation in the copper market highlights the growing concerns over supply constraints. As demand for copper continues to surge, particularly in sectors like renewable energy and electric vehicles, the inability to meet this demand could lead to further price increases.
